INFRASTRUCTURE
Issues Encountered During Our Interventions

Dust
Particles generated by this application field accumulate quickly and must be addressed efficiently.

Explosion Hazard
Dust particulate from some materials may be flammable and/or combustible.

Visibility
Clear vision may be compromised by the accumulation of particulate matter.
Possible Risks When Building Infrastructure: What You Need to Know
Construction sites are among the most hazardous work environments. Projects may take place at height, underground, or in remote locations, each presenting unique risks that must be carefully managed to avoid serious consequences. In addition to safety concerns, there are often environmental regulations that must be strictly followed. To make an informed decision, ask yourself the following questions:
- What specific types of dust or airborne materials are expected to be generated in this work environment?
- Are there any fumes, vapors, or emissions being released from on-field or off-field processes, equipment, or operations?
- Are workers operating in confined spaces where dust and pollutants need to be properly extracted or filtered?
- Are there environmental regulations in the country, state, or province where the construction work is taking place?
Are You Aware of the Risks in These Environments?
In these work environments, risks can arise from various sources and lead to multiple consequences. One of the most serious risks workers face is respiratory problems. Those who spend their entire careers in poorly ventilated, dusty conditions and inhale airborne particles may develop serious health issues such as silicosis, asthma, and even lung cancer.
The type of dust being generated also matters. Some types of dust, such as those from wood, grain, or certain metals, can be highly combustible and pose an explosion hazard if not properly managed.
Another concern is reduced visibility caused by airborne dust, which can make the worksite unsafe by preventing workers from seeing hazards clearly.
Additionally, dust accumulation can impair equipment by clogging or damaging machinery, leading to operational inefficiencies and increased maintenance costs. Dust can also contribute to non-compliance with environmental regulations, resulting in potential fines or project delays.
