“The challenge in a lot of facilities is the accumulation of industrial dust on surrounding equipment, walls, and floors. It’s not always recognized for its ability to cause harm to staff or the working group at a facility.”
“A lot is concentrated on the source of the dust, that is, where it’s generated, but not always where it’s landing. And that’s part of the problem. It doesn’t just impact the area where it’s created. It impacts the surrounding areas, too.”
