FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: DUST CONTROL

What is dust control?

Dust control refers to the methods used to manage and reduce airborne dust particles in construction, mining and industrial sites. These measures help to maintain air quality, prevent health issues and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

What is dust monitoring?

Dust monitoring involves using specialised equipment to measure the concentration of airborne dust particles. This is often a key step in maintaining compliance with workplace health and safety regulations and helps in mitigating health risks associated with inhalable and respirable dust.

What is the best equipment to control dust on construction sites?

Effective dust control equipment includes dust suppression cannons, fog lances, air scrubbers, cutting stations, dust monitors and extraction fans. The best equipment for the job depends on your project works and specific dust hazards that are likely to impact it. In many cases, you’ll need to use a combination of dust control measures to minimise the risk.

What are the Australian standards for dust monitoring?

Australian dust monitoring standards include AS 3580.9.6 for particulate matter, along with Safe Work Australia’s workplace exposure guidelines, which set out the permissible dust limits. As a person conducting a business or undertaking, you’re responsible for ensuring no one on site is exposed to an airborne contaminant at a level above the exposure standard.
