Dust Extractors
LAVINA Dust Extractors
Concrete dust on commercial worksites poses significant health risks due to its composition, which includes silica. Prolonged inhalation of silica particles can lead to a condition known as silicosis, and other potential health issues. To mitigate these risks, it’s crucial for worksites to implement comprehensive safety measures. These include the use of water delivery systems to minimize dust generation and the application of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems to capture airborne dust.
Moreover, personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators should be used by all workers exposed to concrete dust. Regular training on the dangers of silica dust and the importance of following safety protocols is essential to protect worker health. Employers must also conduct air quality assessments to ensure that silica dust levels are kept below the permissible exposure limit set by occupational health and safety regulations.
LAVINA Dust Extractors are equipped with high quality filters, powerful suction, dust bagging system and other user-friendly features for optimal dust management. These industrial grade vacuums are offered in electric and propane models in different sizes to match your grinder.
