Dust Control
Construction dust can seriously damage the health of not only the person carrying out a task, but also site workers in the surrounding area.
How do you protect those nearby who are also at risk from inhaling construction dust?
There are two main ways of doing this, with RPE being worn in addition to mitigation.
Dust Suppression
Using water to dampen down dust clouds
Top Tip – Ensure enough water supplied for the full duration that the work is being carried out.
Prevent the inhalation of hazardous substances in the workplace air.
Top Tip – Tight fitting RPE requires a clean shave to work properly. Where an individual has facial hair, looser fitting RPE with a positive air flow should be used instead.
