This workshop is designed to update participants with the latest development of Industrial Dust Control and to present some of the more common and updated aspects of Design and maintenance. Fugitive dust emission and management is a key consideration in industrial operations. Industries seek to maximise output from their production line and enhancing productivity and capital efficiency. There is an ever increasing need for management to ensure the operation remains sustainable.

Fugitive dust emission and management is a key consideration in industrial operations.
Industries seek to maximise output from their production line and enhancing productivity and capital
efficiency. There is an ever increasing need for management to ensure the operation remains sustainable.
This two day intensive training course will update your knowledge and understanding of all aspects of
fugitive dust control from legislative requirements through concept and detail design to the operation and
maintenance of dust control systems.
Take away best practice principles and procedures that will improve your current operations and future
plant expansions. The course is designed to be interactive, practical, and permit discussion and analysis of
problems encountered on participants’ specific operations.
With ever increasing pressure to ensure environmental and occupational health compliance, it is
increasingly important to ensure that personnel (ranging from managers and supervisory staff through to
maintenance
and operational personnel), have a sound understanding of applicable legislation and technologies available.
This will ensure high levels of compliance.
