Dust off the TV

Viridor, one of the UK’s leading
recycling companies, has solved a
hazardous dust issue with the
installation of 3 new AirBenches
from WorkPoint.

Viridor was using precision tools to
cut apart old television screens, and
identified an issue with generated
dust clouding into the operator’s
breathing zone. The dust produced
can include phosphorous, lead, and
cadmium, leading to a high risk of
dangerous exposure.

After on-site demonstration and
trials, three AirBenches have been
installed. The operators now cut each
screen apart on dedicated AirBenches,
providing a much cleaner and safer
working environment.
