Dust Hazard Icon

Dust

Dust extraction and dust filtration systems.

Dust is one of the main hazards facing on-site workers. The Health and Safety Executive reported that 13,000 deaths each year are estimated to be linked to past exposure at work, primarily to chemicals or dust (HSE 21/22) .

Equipment Range

Capture, Contain, Control.

The 3C’s® is a proven methodology, devised by the RVT Group, to ensure effective control of all on-site health hazards.

Challenge

A vast amount of dust is created from wall chasing, tile cutting, stone cutting, sanding wood, drilling, abrasive blasting and demolition work. Contractors therefore need to use temporary dust controls to ensure that they are not only protecting themselves, but others working in close proximity.

Risk

Failure to install adequate dust control will leave workers exposed to health problems such as; heart disease, lung disease, respiratory problems, asbestosis, silicosis and cancer. The contractor could also risk prosecution if they fail to comply with HSE regulations.

Solution

RVT believe that effective dust control can be managed in three easy steps;

  1. Capture the hazard - Position the dust extraction hood as close as possible to the activity to ensure the dust is captured at source.
  2. Contain the hazard - The immediate work area should be contained as much as possible to prevent dust/fume migrating and affecting other workers on site or people nearby.
  3. Control the hazard - Negative pressure can be applied to prevent dust migration outside of the work area.
