Dust and Fume Control: Clearing the Air
Implementing dust and fume control measures is key to providing a safe working environment, with current legislation and best practice extending the scope of control well beyond the factory. Where activity is undertaken that gives rise to hazardous dust and fumes, the definitive requirements for compliance are specified in UK health and safety regulations and a number of EU directives.
