The Importance of Proper Dust Control

A clean environment is a safe environment. Many industries have become more aware of the problem of combustible dust and have looked for various solutions to manage and control dust, including dust vacuuming. Programs created to keep dust levels in check were once considered, but often would only be implemented if extra time and resources allowed. Today, these programs are commonplace and are planned to occur routinely.

The benefits of proper dust management are:

• liability reduction 
• safety improvement
• quality control
• manufacturing efficiency and production
• safety and health
• peace of mind
