A welding fume extraction system is a ventilation system designed to remove hazardous fumes and particles generated during welding processes
The benefits of using a cutting station on your construction site.
The process of cutting concrete, tiles, steel or other materials brings both noise and silica dust hazards to a construction site.
When should I consider using an industrial drum fan for ventilation?
Industrial drum fans can be a useful tool for providing ventilation on construction sites, particularly in situations where there is poor air quality or a need to circulate air to improve worker comfort and safety. Here are some situations where you might consider...
a guide to using respirable dust monitors | control hire
what is silica dust? Silica, commonly known as silicon dioxide are extremely abundant in the Earth's crust and makes up more than 95% of known rocks. It comes in both non-crystalline and crystalline forms. Silica dust is created in construction by using various...
What jobs should be utilising a fume extractor?
If you work in or around construction, there is a high chance you are being exposed to potential fumes from regular use of machinery and toxic substances. Fumes are one of the major health concerns and safety issues that construction site workers face today.
You could be at risk of silicosis
People who work with certain materials in the construction industry may inhale silica-containing fine dust. Once inside the lungs, dust particles can cause scarring. Silicosis is the medical term for this scarring.
Mann group puts safety first with dust control solutions
With the threat of excessive amounts of respirable and silica dust being released into the air in a built up area loomed overhead, Mann Group determined that they required specific dust control measures to limit exposure on site while minimising the impact and noise to those nearby.Â
The 4 Harmful effects of construction SITE noise
Every day, millions of Australians are exposed to noise pollution directly caused by construction noise. The harmful effects of construction noise pollution can come from many different sources.
4 Ways to reduce construction noise pollution on site
There are a variety of methods to reduce your construction worksite’s excessive noise output, here are four ways to mitigate airborne noise in construction sites. 1. Eliminate loud noise before work begins (design phase) One of the best ways to reduce construction...
ADVANTAGES OF USING A FOG LANCE FOR DUST SUPPRESSION
When a high-powered lance with specifically designed nozzles sprays a fog, it binds dust particles with dust suppressants.
