dust hazards in the workplace

There are many factors present in industrial work environments that can affect an employee’s performance as well as their health. Although they’re unavoidable, elements such as heat, dust, and other harsh materials make every day work more strenuous and difficult for many employees. Workplace dust most often occurs in industries like construction, ranching and farming, mining, woodworking, textiles, ceramics, painting, waste management, and manufacturing. This dust must be suppressed not only to meet regulatory demands, but also to preserve the safety and health of employees. It is important for employers to recognize the dangers of these working conditions and make an effort to reduce or eliminate any of these factors in order to have a better workplace environment.

At Fogco, we offer dust suppression solutions that can help you achieve these goals. Established in 1989, we have over 30 years of impressive service and product experience. As a leader in our industry, we have a reputation for being the preferred provider and our systems can prove it. We offer dust control systems as well as climate control systems that can significantly improve the conditions of any workplace.

3 Benefits of Managing Workplace Dust

1. Meet Regulations

OSHA and the EPA have adopted standards for environmental safety that must be met by manufacturing companies in a wide range of industries. Very popular and high quality dust suppression systems inhibit dust from spreading in an environment by the action of spraying mist into the air. This effectively captures the dust particles, which ultimately weighs them down and brings them to the ground.

Compliance is an important reason for installing dust suppression systems. By adhering to the OSHA and EPA regulations, not only are you following the law and doing the right thing, but you are also avoiding the fees and penalties that can be associated with failing to meet these requirements. However, complying with these regulations also benefits your employees.

2. Keep Employees Healthy

Lung disease is a very real problem associated with occupational environments in which workers are forced to breathe in contaminated air. It represents a significant health threat to the company’s workforce if not mitigated properly.

3. Protect Equipment

Dust can not only affect human life, which is the most important concern of course, but it can also interfere with the proper operation of equipment and machinery. Dust can make its way into important components of machinery and degrade its operational capability and efficiency. This is something that can hinder production, necessitate the need for extra maintenance, or even repair or replacements.

It is important to promote a healthy working environment for your workforce. Unwanted and unhealthy airborne particles can negatively affect the health of your workers and the performance of your equipment. Let Fogco assist you with your dust suppression needs.
