It is a proven fact that silica dust is the second biggest risk to construction workers after asbestos. PRNS Building Services understand the importance of site safety for these projects and we make it our priority to ensure that strict health and safety measures are met with no room for complacency. It is crucial when carrying out site set up that the onsite cutting out of entrances is not going to put others at risk, this requires planning and organisation. Silica dust can be seriously harmful and damage your health and some types can eventually kill. Breathing in the dust can potentially cause lung cancer, silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma.

Our ventilation methods process at PRNS Building Services commences with the setup of secure ventilation enclosures at the sensitive areas of the site. This includes the enclosure being safely attached to our hoardings. The mobile Dustmaster unit is then attached to the enclosure containing a high-quality epi filter system to absorb all dust within the container. This proceeds with the cutting out process to create the lift openings. When carrying out our ventilation methods it is paramount that strict Health & Safety measures are in place. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), high quality ventilation equipment and dust extraction are crucial to maintain a safe working environment.
