In any modern industrial workplace, there are too many hazards to count. Companies often dedicate full teams of safety specialists to identify and mitigate most of these issues, but what about different materials that might be overlooked? As you can see in the infographic accompanying this post, it’s clear that there’s one dangerous hazardous material in particular that isn’t treated with enough focus: dust. Just how dangerous can dust be? When not treated with enough care, dust can actually be a catalyst to a number of very dangerous outcomes. The irritating chemical properties that make up dust have been known to damage the skin, the eyes, and the lungs if not properly defended against. Similarly, dust also impacts the environment in which it occupies, sticking and settling to surfaces which can lead to fires as a result of dust’s combustible nature. Understanding that dust can be so dangerous, it’s imperative to learn how to avoid some of the dangers it poses and how to eliminate it in the workplace altogether. For more information on the ways in which this is possible, be sure to read on to the infographic accompanying this post.
