🌫️ Is Your Workplace at Risk from Hazardous Dust Exposure?

Dust is a hidden hazard across many industries — from construction and manufacturing to agriculture and food production. Materials like wood, silica, and metal dusts can cause serious health effects once airborne, including:

🔹 Occupational asthma
🔹 Dermatitis
🔹 Cancer (e.g. from respirable crystalline silica)
🔹 Pneumoconiosis
🔹 Systemic toxicity

⚠️ Employers have a legal duty to prevent or adequately control dust exposure — and in many cases, health surveillance is also required under HSE guidance.

🩺 Health surveillance is appropriate when:
• Dust exposure is linked to a known health risk
• A condition is reasonably likely to occur in the working environment
• Reliable, low-risk detection methods are available

✅ Regular health checks can help identify early signs of dust-related illness and ensure control measures are working.
✅ Employees should be encouraged to report symptoms and dust control issues.

🛠️ Are Your Workers at Risk of HAVS?
Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) is one of the most common occupational diseases — caused by frequent use of vibrating tools and machinery. It can result in permanent damage to nerves, blood vessels, and muscles in the hands and arms if not detected early.

🔍 Health surveillance for vibration is essential where risk assessments show exposure at or above the action value. It helps identify symptoms early and ensures legal compliance under HSE/HSENI guidelines.

⚠️ High-risk industries include:
• Construction
• Manufacturing
• Motor vehicle repair
• Heavy engineering
• Forestry & foundries

🔧 Common equipment:
Chainsaws, grinders, drills, sanders, polishers, saws, and powered hammers.

✅ Our specialist HAVS health surveillance programme helps protect your workforce and meet your duty of care.
