Dust is a constant challenge on site, that can not only put the health of workers at risk, but also people nearby and the wider environment. Dust should always be controlled at the source, with preventative measures put in place to reduce the amount of airborne dust being projected into the air from activities such as wall chasing, concrete breaking, and demolition works.

Additional control measures might be necessary if the work is taking place inside or nearby to a sensitive environment such as a hospital, school, manufacturing plant, or other industrial facility. In this instance, the contractor might need to show proof of adhering to strict dust control guidelines, and the work area could be susceptible to regular spot checks and in-house inspections by the client.
