Let’s build tomorrow’s powders together.
In the construction industry, one of the major health risks for workers is the dust generated by materials and inhaled by workers. We help companies that want to improve working conditions for their workers by working with them to find the best solution for reducing dust exposure. We analyze the dust emitted, recommend protective equipment (PPE or CPE), and find the best way to use it to effectively reduce the impact of dust on the health of construction workers.
Dust: a health hazard in construction and public works
Whether it’s metal, wood, stone, or their derivatives, once in dust form, all materials can be inhaled by workers on construction sites or in production plants.
Do you want to improve working conditions for your employees or help your company comply with standards? Reducing the amount of dust present on your construction sites or in your work environment is the solution.
You may have already tried several solutions: vacuum cleaners, which proved ineffective; subcontractors, which you may not have budgeted for your construction site; or PPE, which had to be changed regularly. Your construction site has progressed despite this persistent dust problem and the cost of managing it, but you would like to do better for your next contract. Do you want your construction site to be more profitable?
PowderCraft tailors dust control solutions to your situation
Whatever dust-related problem you encounter, PowderCraft can help. We analyze your dust: understanding it better allows us to find the most suitable solutions. We study the environment in which you work: whether indoors or outdoors, there are many challenges to overcome. Work environments are diverse and unique; the same dust may have several different solutions, depending on external conditions. By understanding the powder and integrating the requirements of the system in which it operates, we can offer you the optimal solution, tailored to your specific case.
Solutions for dust
There are already many effective solutions on the market for reducing dust exposure: vacuuming, masks, ventilation, etc. But before choosing your dust control solution, you need to ask yourself the right questions.
Do I know enough about my powder to find the ideal dust reduction system? Here is some information you should know before considering a solution:
- Ventilation
- Humidity level
- Particle size
- Distribution
We often hear that a high humidity level prevents dust from remaining suspended in the air, but did you know that if the humidity level in the room is too high, your employees’ health will deteriorate more quickly? That’s right, ambient humidity traps fine particles in your workers’ lungs, increasing their risk of cancer.
Once you have enough information about your dust, you can finally consider the solution. Here are some questions to ask yourself when choosing your dust management system:
- PPE, CPE, or both?
- For a CPE, how far should it be placed from the dust source?
- Which filter should you choose?
When choosing your solution, PowderCraft assumes that your situation is unique: your powder is different from others, your drilling or cutting methods are based on your experience, and your skills have enabled you to create a very specific ecosystem on your construction sites. We take all these details into account and apply our expertise to devise the ideal solution to ensure the health of your colleagues on your construction sites.
