Running dust analysis in working environments is essential for effective management of professional risks. However, this analysis requires specific equipment and know-how that a specialized laboratory can provide. Laboratories are equipped to carry out quality dust analysis thanks to their state-of-the-art technology and experience in handling and interpreting dust data.
What's more, the results of dust analysis carried out by a certified dust analysis laboratory are recognized by regulatory authorities, which is essential for checking that your working environments comply with current standards. So, if you want to protect the health and safety of your employees, a dust analysis laboratory is highly recommended.
In a working environment, it's essential to know what types of dust are present, and in which dust class they belong. For this, a laboratory analysis of the dust is necessary to determine the health risks for workers.
Each of these dust classes can have adverse effects on health. It is therefore essential to assess and manage each class of dust individually. The dust composition varies, and can be harmful to human health and the environment. This is why calling on a dust analysis laboratory is an effective solution to help you understand the types of dust particles present.
- dust class L, slightly hazardous: house dust and dusty substances such as sand, plaster and chalk
- dust class M, moderately hazardous: wood and metal dust, as well as paint particles.
- dust class H, Highly Hazardous: carcinogenic substances and substances hazardous to health (asbestos, mold, lead, mineral fibers, flour dust, etc.)
Whether you're a small business, a craftsman or an industrial company, many workplaces are concerned with the laboratory dust analysis.
Companies concerned with the laboratory dust analysis are those likely to be involved in carpentry, painting or in the metalworking industries and building trades more generally. Bakeries, because of the raw materials used, and companies involved in the installation of heating systems or the removal of asbestos.
