Dust Collectors: Preventing Workplace Injury and Lawsuits

Dust collectors or particle filtration systems aren’t just a luxury. As a business owner, the success or failure of your business (and whether you have more or less workplace injuries) can depend on whether you have an effective particle filtration system in place to remove large and toxic fine dust from the workplace.
 
Why? Simply because most dust in manufacturing (brick, sheetrock, even warehouse dust) is proven to not only cause respiratory and other illnesses, but while that dust is causing allergies and irritation, it’s setting you up for more injuries because it causes the employee to be distracted while they are rubbing their eyes, coughing, sneezing, etc. And employee distraction can easily cause an injury, which will cause increased insurance rates, and possibly OSHA fines and lawsuits. All it takes is one employee to have an issue–and your business could be in jeopardy.
 
And some industrial and commercial business owners have workshop dust extraction systems that aren’t the right type of dust collector, don’t have high enough capacity or output, or don’t have HEPA filters.
 
Having an inadequate dust collection system or unit is almost as bad as not having the right unit because if the unit doesn’t have a HEPA filter and only collects the larger particles, it’s circulating the smaller more dangerous particles even more. Or if the output of the dust collector isn’t enough, the unit won’t be able to remove the dust particles before the employees can breathe them, which is defeating the purpose. And you could actually be charged with negligence for putting in a dust or particle filtration system that is inadequate.
 
All of the employee safety hazards and increased liability is avoidable, however. If you have an industrial dust collection unit already, just get an free expert evaluation below and they can tell you if your system is adequate or not. If not, simply install the right portable or central HVAC dust collection unit. If you’re a new business, it is a lot smarter to go ahead and include an extra amount for the air filtration system when you’re applying for your loan. That way the cost of the dust collector will be rolled in with your regular payments and you won’t even notice the difference in your monthly payment.
 
You may even want to get a couple of portable dust collectors so that you can have proper toxic fine dust and large particle removal wherever your work takes you. Some business owners even rent out dust collectors at $200-300 a day. There’s an idea! The point is that you can not only avoid a lot of liabilities and employee health issues, and increased costs by simply installing the right particle filtration system or unit. Just contact our experts below for a free evaluation and we’ll make some recommendations that will work for you.
