MONTREAL – On Friday, July 29, Diversitech hosted its first ever Family Day at its head office in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This event was open to all Diversitech employees and their immediate families. Everyone in attendance enjoyed a sun-drenched afternoon filled with great food, entertainment, and prizes including a Microsoft Xbox Console.
A tour of our facility was given to all visitors while a balloon magician and face painter were on site to entertain children (and some adults too). Inflatable soccer and basketball nets, along with a bouncy castle, were among the many fun outdoor activities. An ice cream stand was available for those who wanted to enjoy a refreshing desert after a delicious BBQ lunch.
Many thanks to the Diversitech Social Committee for conceptualizing and planning this great event!

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has recently released changes to NFPA 652 Standard on the Fundamentals of Combustible Dust. With significant impacts for facilities across the country, businesses are expected to be compliant with the new regulation by September 7, 2020 or risk hefty fines as a result.
Of all the changes to NFPA 652, the most important is the Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) requirement by this date for facilities processing combustible dusts. Businesses need to act sooner than later to guarantee they meet this new deadline if they want to stay NFPA compliant.
