The Ways Particle Filtration Reduces Hazards
Maintaining healthy air quality in confined work environments is challenging. However, thanks to emerging technologies and engineering controls, many work sites are meeting strict OHS regulations by utilizing particle filtration systems to remove dangerous airborne contaminants. Knowing the ways particle filtration reduces hazards is necessary to promote a healthy and productive workplace.
Particle Filtration Removes Harmful Substances
A proper system for removing harmful substances from the air in your workplace reduces contaminants caused by welding, gouging and more. While ventilation aids in creating a healthier atmosphere, particle filtration captures and removes hazards such as:
- Non-explosive dry dust
- Silica dust
- Metal spray
- Particulates from sandblasting
- Fumes from welding activity
- Fumes from combustion
Particle Filtration Reduces Hazards
In addition, particle filtration prevents respiratory ailments and reduces worker exposure to carcinogenic particles. In addition, participle filtration allows for:
- Fewer work stoppages due to poor air quality.
- Increased visibility, which reduces the risk of accidents and increases production.
- Less chance of combustion-related accidents.
- Decreased injury and downtime-related costs.
- Lowered environmental risk and improved social responsibility.
