2014 Occupational Health & Safety Administration Additive Manufacturing Citation
“The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which
were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause
death or serious physical harm, in that employees were exposed to fire
& explosion hazards from combustible dust and from hydrogen
gas while working with a 3D printing equipment system in an
additive manufacturing facility that fabricated items from combustible
metal alloy powders containing titanium, aluminum and other combustible
metals…”

AM powders are hazardous materials that exhibit all of the safety risks
Aluminum Powder ExplosionHuntington Indiana | Oct 2003
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB)
identified 281 dust incidents from 1980 to
2005:
§ 119 worker deaths and 718 injuries
§ 10 dust explosions per year with 71%
having fatalities
§ Property losses averaging over $1M per
incident
Metal and plastic powder accounted for
34% of all incidents

ü AM processes generate fine & ultra-
fine particles that may cause
respiratory diseases
ü AM resins are toxic, irritants,
desensitizers & highly combustible
ü Filaments may have toxic additives
& are combustible
Filaments & resins also contain similar safety risks
Material hazard identification & management is increasingly important
