The adage about cracking a few eggs to make an omelet rings true to anyone who has ever had to remodel or fix anything. Mess is the inevitable result of all types of construction and remodeling, especially when concrete is involved. Check out how BOSCH dust collection solutions help you clean up dust and debris from sanding, cutting, and grinding to keep your workplace safe from air hazards (and also to be sure your workplace is OSHA compliant).
Keeping Your Clients Happy
If you are a licensed contractor, you may promise your customers a whole floor-to-ceiling house cleanup after you complete the work. Rather than hiring a cleaning crew, use a Bosch concrete dust collection vac, which quickly sucks up debris from sanding, sawing, drilling, and refinishing. Keeping an assortment of Bosch dust collection solution attachments on hand can prevent the mess from happening while you’re working.
These accessories pull dust immediately into the collection unit to keep the air clean as you drill, saw, or sand. Vacuum systems are clean as you go, so there is much less mess to clean up after you are done. So, the next time you are drilling into drywall, tearing down a wall with a demo hammer, or grinding a concrete surface, use tools that plug right into a Bosch dust extractor to save on cleanup time.
Enjoy A Safer Workplace
Good air quality is essential for everyone, including you. Even if you fly solo on many of your projects, Bosch dust extractors keep wood shavings and dust away from your face, eyes, and hands, helping you focus on the task itself. You can also avoid that massive cloud of microscopic dust billowing into your face when you cut into a concrete wall or foundation. Hooking up your grinder or saw to a suction unit ensures you can enjoy a satisfying workday and a long, healthy career.
Alternative to a Dust Bag
Many older tools may already have a dust bag attachment. Those are efficient, but without a filtration system, dust can escape. Those micro-particles are the very type you do not want to breathe in. Instead, attach a hose to the dust port, and your Bosch dust collector vacuum system will suck up all the dust that used to leak back out into the air. If your old saw or sander is still doing the job, there is no need to replace it. Instead, modernize it with newer accessories and use today’s best filtration and dust extraction technology.
Following OSHA Recommendations
Silica is one of the most common particulates found in concrete. When you cut into dry concrete, mortar, or other types of stone, including brick, silica dust can become a health hazard. Silica particles are so light they float in the air undetected for quite a while and can pose long-term health risks. Silicosis is a severe lung disease and one that OSHA would like you to avoid. According to their materials: “Grinder operators’ silica exposures are among the highest in the construction industry.”
They suggest using a vacuum dust collection system that includes HEPA filtration and wet grinding (whenever possible) to ensure the most significant safety for you and your crew. Moreover, everyone wants to see a happy client and a clean worksite regardless of their trade. Shop vacs keep inevitable messes and accidents from interfering with your solid referral stream.
