Here are 5 more reasons why air filtration is critical to your workplace:
1. Secure Employee Safety
Employers are solely responsible for workplace conditions and safety measures. Air filtration systems help employers secure a safe work environment by filtering contaminated air until its surgical-grade clean.
Protecting machine operators from exposure to contaminated air will lower employee injury risks and sick-days while boosting productivity and morale!
2. Meet Air Quality Regulations
Air filtration systems are designed to help employers meet Federal, State, and local clean air standards. Understanding indoor air quality (IAQ) is crucial for maintaining compliance and ensuring a healthy work environment.
Poor indoor air quality can arise from various sources including:

Employers and machine operators must also abide by OSHA and NIOSH regulations and follow manufactrer safety and operation manuals to ensure optimal safety.
3. Improve Equipment Protection
Without air filtration systems, the particulate in contaminated air can land in and on machinery causing equipment to perform less efficiently or breakdown. Consistent equipment issues result in higher maintenance and repair costs while lowering productivity rates.
4. Prevent Fire Hazards
A combustible dust hazard can be determined when machine operators are performing grinding, deburring, cutting, blasting, sieving, budding, or polishing processes with combustible metals and if there's an ignition source present. Types of ignition sources can include:
There are air filtration systems, such as dust collectors, that are specifically designed to prevent fire and explosion risks.
