Free site surveys

Following recent HSE
Safety and Health
Awareness Days
(SHADs) for the bakery
industry, Nederman is
offering free site surveys
to companies considering
dust control.

The bakery industry
employs 95,000 people;
27,000 workers are
exposed to flour dust and the
potentially sensitising enzymes it can
contain. Flour dust is a hazardous
substance under COSHH and
subject to Workplace
Exposure Limits (WELs).

Exposure can cause
conjunctivitis, rhinitis
and occupational asthma.

Indeed, the rate of new
asthma cases amongst
bakers reported by
physicians is the highest
of any occupation, in any
industry.
