The WOOD LINE industrial vacuum cleaners of iVision Vacuum play an essential role during wood processing. The wood industry deals with the presence of toxic dust, which is dangerous to the health of workers and to the surrounding environment. Much of this dust is combustible and also poses a serious risk of fire and explosion.

In this article we will discuss the role played by WOOD LINE industrial vacuum cleaners for a safer working environment during the woodworking process.

The risk associated with the presence of dust in the wood industry

In the wood industry, airborne dust particles pose a serious risk to the health and safety of workers and the surrounding environment. The main challenges related to these particles come from the formation of both dust clouds and dust layers.

Dust clouds, a direct result of woodworking, are created when a large amount of dust particles are dispersed into the air, resulting in highly flammable environments and increasing the risk of explosions. On the other hand, dust layers accumulate on various surfaces including floors, equipment, trusses, beams, roofs and other surfaces and areas within the work environment, posing a possible threat to workers’ health even in the absence of airlifting

How to prevent risks caused by wood dusts

To prevent and manage the risks generated by wood dust, it is essential to implement appropriate safety solutions and measures within woodworking industry. These include:

  • Prevent dust accumulation

To reduce dust in the air of the work environment, it is necessary to install vacuum system to prevent the formation of dust layers that can cause health problems and start fires.

  • Limit sources of ignition

Reducing opportunities for ignition, such as sparks and open flames, reduces fire hazards.

  • Training operators

It is critical to train operators on how to handle combustible dusts and what the safety practices are, providing information on how to identify and handle hazardous situations.

  • Use personal protective equipment

It is essential to provide workers with the appropriate personal protective equipment, such as respiratory masks, goggles and clothing, to avoid direct contact with toxic dust.

Implementing these prevention and safety strategies is crucial to create a safer working environment in the wood industries. WOOD INDUSTRIAL LINE of iVision Vacuum is designed to ensure maximum safety in situations where people are dealing with combustible and toxic dust from wood chips, wood dusts and sawdust.
