DOES YOUR ON-SITE VACUUM COMPLY?

 
 
Essential Requirements for South Australian Building Sites
In South Australia, compliance with workplace safety regulations is paramount, especially regarding dust control on construction sites. Dust from materials such as concrete, wood, and masonry can pose significant health risks to workers, leading to respiratory issues and long-term diseases. To minimise these risks, M Class vacuums / dust extractors are a required safety measure on many building sites.

 

Why M Class Dust Extractors?
M Class dust extractors are specifically designed to capture medium-risk dust, including silica, wood, and other hazardous particles commonly found on construction sites. These machines provide superior filtration, ensuring that dust exposure levels remain below legally mandated limits, helping safeguard worker health and maintaining compliance with workplace safety standards.

 Key Requirements:

  • High filtration efficiency: M Class extractors filter up to 99.9% of hazardous dust particles, ensuring that the air remains safe to breathe.
  • Compliance with safety standards: They must meet the Australian standards for airborne contaminant exposure, particularly those outlined by SafeWork SA.
  • Regular maintenance: To remain effective, extractors must be properly maintained, including regular filter changes and system checks.
For further information and the latest guidelines on dust control requirements, visit the official SafeWork SA website.
By using M Class dust extractors, you not only comply with local regulations but also contribute to creating a safer working environment for your team.
