WASHINGTON — Workers would get new protections from combustible-dust explosions — such as the one that killed 13 people in a Georgia sugar refinery in February — under legislation passed by the House on Wednesday.
The legislation, passed 247- 165, is needed because the Occupational Safety and Health Administration hasn’t moved fast enough to keep workplaces free of large levels of dust that can become fuel for fires and explosions, Democrats said.
