Silica is a natural substance found in most rocks, sands, and clay in varying amounts – it is a major compound in bricks, and is therefore present in much of the production process. Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) dust is frequently created in the brick production process and must be contained to ensure employee safety. Exposure to RCS dust can cause Silicosis, COPD, and even lung cancer, and therefore it is a priority of employers in the brick production industry.
In 2022, the HSE updated its guidance to control RCS dust, which can be seen on their website. The team at integratedAIR Filtration are well versed in the latest guidance involving the brick production industry – call us today to identify issues in your current system, discuss how HSE guidance effects your process, and design a new system which is fully compliant and highly efficient.
