Monitoring dust and silica
The dangers of dust and silica when cutting and fabricating stone are well-known by now. It is incredibly important to put in place measures that will ensure the safety of you and your employees.
One of these measures is monitoring the levels of dust in your workplace to ensure they are at a safe level, as recommended by the HSE. At Stonegate we have partnered with Trolex, award winning leaders of safety monitoring systems, to provide options that will help your dust and silica safety management.
Construction dust isn't just a nuisance - regularly breathing it in over a long time can cause life-changing lung diseases, and in some cases can lead to death. According to one HSE report, there are 12,000 lung disease deaths each year that are linked to past exposures at work, and 1.8 million workers currently suffer from work-related ill health.
Trolex have been developing their dust monitoring technology has been in development for almost a decade. Over 20,000 hours of testing in their special lab facilities has enabled them to offer dust and silica management systems that are both simple and effective, will also being affordable solutions.
That's why we are delighted to be able to provide Trolex solutions as part of the Stonegate stone fabrication safety portfolio.
