Dust Control at Mining & Construction Sites
Dust Control at Mining & Construction Sites
Is More Than Just an Inconvenience or Meets the Eye
Airborne dust at job sites is almost unavoidable. Water trucks, or dust control trucks, help control and suppress harmful dust and pollutants at construction sites.
Of all the potential dangers and risks, one encounters on a construction site—from operating heavy equipment and machinery to keeping workers safe—dust most likely is not at the top of your list. The dangers of dust can go unnoticed or sometimes ignored, and certain kinds like asbestos dust can be life-threatening.
Some potential health risks associated with airborne dust and accumulation on a job site include:
- Eye irritation, difficulty seeing, eye infection
- Asthma, allergic reactions, coughing
- Increased problems breathing
- Lung disease, emphysema
Best- Practice
Mining and construction dust has the potential to cause temporary, and long-term health risks you’re your workers and neighboring communities. It is always best-practice to control the dust as much as possible.
