Breathing easy
June 1st 2008 Construction workers are
particularly at risk from
respiratory problems caused
by the inhalation of dust.
Everyday tasks such as
drilling, slab and block
cutting, chasing out and
sanding of wood creates
dusts that are dangerous to
workers and their colleagues.
Cases of occupational
asthma are increasing year
on year, and the HSE is
committed to reducing
exposure to harmful dusts
and to driving down
incidents of respiratory
disease.
The Nederman Filtercube
is designed to reduce
dangerous levels of dust
generated in the
construction process. It can
be placed near to the
process that generates the
dust; a powerful fan draws
the airborne dust through a
two-stage filtration process,
before discharging clean air
through the outlet spigot.
A filter condition
indicator is fitted, and a
built-in timer can be set to
allow the unit to provide recirculatory
cleaning in an
unoccupied room. More articles from Nederman Limited: |
