🏭 Engineering Controls

Where practical, enclose dust sources and provide dust extraction at source. Designate work areas and restrict access to informed and trained workers. Use operating procedures that will limit dust production and exposure of workers. Keep the workplace clean. Use a vacuum cleaner fitted with a HEPA filter; avoid using brooms and never use compressed air for clean up. If necessary, consult an industrial hygienist to design workplace controls and practices. The use of products specially tailored to your application(s) will help to control dust. Some products can be delivered ready for use to avoid further cutting or machining. Some could be pre-treated or packaged to minimise or avoid dust release during handling. Specific measures include: automatically feeding RCF/ASW into the process, segregating dry and wet processing, enclosing processes and machines, installing Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) for machine finishing, handling, compressing and hand cutting. Provide vacuum cleaner connection points to central systems or use portable HEPA vacuums. Regular clean up using wet scrubbing units where possible and HEPA vacuums. Prohibit dry brushing and compressed air. Waste materials to be contained at source, labelled and stored separately. For maintenance and service life, use pre-cut, pre-sized pieces, perform hand cutting in a segregated area on a down draft bench. For installation and removal, enclose or segregate the work area, pre-wet insulation prior to removal, use water lance or vacuum-truck for removal, use down draft bench for hand cutting, cover pre-cut sections during transport and storage, provide multiple vacuum hoses or portable HEPA filtered vacuums for cleanup.
