Improved monitoring for site operations: Casella announces advanced Dust Detective Enclosure

摘要

Casella, air sampling, noise and vibration monitoring specialist, has launched an improved version of its Dust Detective Enclosure. The ideal survey tool for efficient area monitoring, Casella's Dust Detective Enclosure is a game changer in short-term boundary monitoring, on the market from November 2018. In 2017-18, there were 12,000 lung disease deaths in the UK due to exposures of air hazards and dust at work, and a further 20,000 estimated new cases of occupational breathing problems reported. Protecting the health, safety and welfare of their workforce is the responsibility of the employer, who has an obligation by law to assess the level of risk in the workplace and take the reasonable steps to eliminate apparent risks and put in place appropriate control measures (Health and Safety at Work Act 1974). This includes controlling the risks that arise from work activities, including the creation of dust and fumes. By implementing effective monitoring solutions, employers can help to prevent workers from inhaling dust that can lead to detrimental health issues.
