Control, contain and collect dust
Dust is an expensive nuisance that can impact on an organisation’s employees, finances and company reputation. Yet with a little bit of thought and a zero cost investment, the problem can be eliminated, according to Sunrise Tools & Equipment.
Consider some of the costs of dust:
- Power tools need clean air to keep cool. Dust-laden air coats internal workings, reduces cooling and accelerates wear on switches and moving parts. Dust destroys expensive power tools.
- If your employees can’t see what they’re doing, they’re more likely to make mistakes. Dust slows progress and increases the risk of expensive errors.
- Dispersed dust takes time and money to collect; capturing dust at source is quicker and cheaper.
- Dust is a nuisance for other tradesman or innocent passers-by. Complaints disrupt work schedules and threaten future opportunities.
- But most importantly, dust is a direct health hazard for your employees and other persons in the vicinity. Dust control and extraction features are common on many power tools or can easily be added. Attaching a ‘hoover’ allows the majority of dust and waste products to be captured before they can escape into the atmosphere.
