Commercial construction sites can have a variety of airborne pollutants, from drywall dust to insulation fibers, to various chemical fumes from paints, solvents, acids, and other sources. And If you’ve got employees working in any kind of enclosed area where they can be exposed, without a proper portable hepa air purifier, yourself, your employees, and your business is probably at risk. Even if there are only a couple of walls up, that gives pollutants a chance to accumulate and become a hazard. And many respirators aren’t equipped with strong enough filters to eliminate hazardous fumes and sub-micron-size particles. Plus, some fumes and particles are actually quite heavy and tend to hang around even in open construction sites, so those situations can be a problem, too.
Your best bet is to have one or more commercial construction site HEPA air purifiers on hand to make sure the air is clean, and make sure you’re not leaving yourself and your business wide open for employee health issues, OSHA fines and lawsuits. Many quality construction site HEPA air cleaners include both HEPA and carbon filters that will remove both tough fumes and dust particles, and some are specialized for removing mainly dust or fumes. One particular brand of commercial portable HEPA air cleaners that we routinely recommend is Electrocorp. Electrocorp has been a leader in commercial and industrial air filtration since the early 90’s for some very good reasons.
First, Electrocorp HEPA filters are all, well over 99% efficient, remove particles as small as 0.1 microns, and last anywhere from 2-5 years, depending on use. Second, Electrocorp’s carbon filters are second to none with a special proprietary activation process that causes their carbon filters and air scrubbers to absorb more chemicals more efficiently than any other carbon filter on the market. Those high quality HEPA and carbon filters,paired with solid steel construction, high output, positive & negative air capability, custom design options, and 10 year warranty has made Electrocorp the #1 choice for work safety concerns, construction contractors and many other commercial and industrial professionals.
For best air cleaning and airborne hazard removal from construction sites, buildings, offices & warehouses, we recommend the RSU series portable HEPA air cleaners and the Air Rhino series portable air purifier units. If you need an all-around portable construction site HEPA air purifier with positive and negative air capability, high output, and the ability to switch back and forth between a highly efficient dust collector and fume extractor for different jobs, the Air Rhino 2000 VS series is our number one recommendation. These portable industrial air cleaner units can sit on the floor and rolled around to whatever space or areas that needs air cleaning or hung from a ceiling, rafter or beam to save floor space or just keep it out of the way.
The Air Rhino 2000 VS units are also positive and negative air capable, as well as easily convertible to a source capture air scrubber by simply buying a flange and some tubing and directing the suction tube toward the area where pollutants need to be immediately removed. For large industrial or commercial warehouses, work sites, buildings, or workshops where a combination of powerful, portable dust collection and fume extraction is needed, we recommend the RSU CCH series, with up to 240 pounds of super-activated carbon and medical grade HEPA filters to remove the toughest chemical and particle or fiber type pollutants and keep employees breathing clean, hazard-free air.
Don’t be fooled by cheaper portable commercial construction site air cleaner claims—if they don’t have a medical grade HEPA filter, at least 40-50 pounds of carbon, an output of 350-1000 CFM, and a verifiable reputation for durability, don’t waste your money. Go with Electrocorp and do it once, properly, so that you have peace of mind knowing that your work area or site has clean, pollutant-free air and your employees (and your business) are safe.

I think these are really good tips to protect subcontractors and anyone who may be in the construction site. Also a construction company should always have a contractor insurance in case anything bad happens.
