Construction Dust - Much more than a nuisance
Do you think that construction dust is just a nuisance? It is, in fact, a serious risk to construction workers. Regularly breathing even small amounts of dust over a long time can cause serious lung diseases, including cancer. Common jobs like cutting or grinding concrete, chasing out mortar, drilling in enclosed spaces or sanding wood/MDF can be high risk if not properly controlled.
This half day event is aimed at managers, supervisors and operatives. It aims to raise awareness of the health problems caused by construction dust and the simple steps you should take to control it. Sessions and demonstrations include on-tool extraction, water suppression, respiratory protective equipment (RPE) and management controls.
Our keynote speaker, Chris Lucas, is in charge of co-ordinating HSE’s activity on construction dust. He has widely engaged with the industry on this issue and will be providing the very latest information.
