Dust Containment

All PCBU are to instruct their workers in dust management and detail the management of such in their Safe Work Method Statement.

All precautions shall be taken, as far as practicable, to prevent dust problems affecting other persons at the workplace and surrounding public.

When working with tools, or in an area where the dust is excessive, then breathing protection shall be worn and signs posted.

Subcontractors shall ensure their workers are aware of this requirement and are provided with the appropriate PPE and systems to carry out such duties. The subcontractor shall also ensure signs are posted and that any other persons working in these areas are notified of the hazard and are wearing the appropriate protection or they leave the area. This can be formulated through talks with the “PC”.

Dust problems caused from earth works shall be prevented as much as possible by wetting down. Where dust is being caused by other means from work being performed, the subcontractor shall ensure containment screens or other systems are put in place to prevent such dust to other workers or public.
