The value of personal dust monitoring in the workplace
- Warn an individual of increased respirable dust levels with alarms in order to refit RPE or exit area
- Understand dynamics of personal dust exposure during a working day to inform mitigation plans
- Minimise exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) by real time monitoring of respirable dust
- Create records of an individual’s exposure to respirable dust for long term protection
- Comply with Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs): sample inhalable dust according to MDHS14/4
