The Importance of Proper Dust Extraction in Your Workspace

All craftspeople should be familiar with the importance of maintaining a safe workspace. But the details of workspace safety tend to go overlooked all too often. Everyone knows to use extra caution with power tools, and always to wear proper protective gear. But how about the quality of the air we breathe? Today, we’d like to emphasize the importance of proper dust extraction in the workplace.

Proper dust extraction is essential to the safety of your workspace. Here at Jason Brown Wood Floors, we have the solution!

Protect Your Health

You may think that particles of dust floating about isn’t too big a deal. While it’s true that dust is everywhere, the quantity and quality of the dust that tends to float about at construction sites can be uniquely dangerous.

When it comes to the harmful health effects of breathing in dust, you will most often hear about silica dust. This form of dust is exceptionally common on construction sites, as it can be found in bricks, clay, concrete, and even some plastics. Silica dust can be invisibly small, and is a known carcinogen. Even something as organic as wood dust has known carcinogenic properties.

Eliminating dust in your workplace won’t just free your eyes and skin from irritation. It will protect you and your fellow workers from such diseases as bronchitis and lung cancer.

Reduce Clean-Up and Boost Productivity

Anyone who has ever cleaned up their home knows just how quickly dust can accumulate. On a construction site or in a workshop, you can multiply that by a thousand. Many professionals and hobbyists alike feel as though too much time is spent cleaning up after they’re done their work.

One of the most difficult aspects of cleaning up can be taking care of every last piece of dust that might have settled in the space. Proper dust extraction will make this an absolute breeze. For hobbyists, this means you can spend more time doing what you love. In commercial settings, this means less time wasted and more profit.

The Solution: Festool’s CLEANTEC CT Dust Extractor

When it comes to dust extraction, you simply can’t do much better than Festool’s CLEANTEC CT. This line of dust extractors is HEPA certified. What this means is that it can filter out 99.97% of airborne particles. Your CLEANTEC CT dust extractor will hook directly up to your power tools to vacuum up particles before they even have the chance to get airborne. This is the gold standard in terms of dust extraction, and you should settle for no less for the sake of your health.
