METHODS FOR  

CONTROLLING DUST

CONTROL MEASURES

Avoid

 making RCS dust by using silica free materials or buying 

the right size of materials to avoid cutting. If you can’t avoid 
making RCS dust, you must do everything practically possible to...

AVOID

Prevent

 exposure by using water suppression equipment to 

convert the dust to slurry, sweeping up using the correct floor 
extraction tool or using “on tool dust extraction”. This removes 
the dust as it is created. To achieve this you need to:

 

Choose tools that have a collection cover  
and extraction port.

 

Connect your tool to an M Class certified extraction unit.

If you cannot prevent RCS exposure, you must...

PREVENT

Minimise

 exposure to as low a level as is reasonably practical by:

 

(Note: Water particle size must be 
similar to the respirable dust particle size to be effective).

 

Using an air filter cube to rotate and clean the air.

 

Using less powerful tools.

 

Wearing the correct respiratory protection equipment 
(RPE) - This is by no means  the most effective solution  
but can be used if you have no other way of eliminating 
dust as it only aids individuals wearing the equipment.  
You must ensure that you aren’t harming anyone else.
