Breathing in dust can lead to serious lung disease. Unless dust control measures are in place, employers risk their workers’ health and lives. Find out how to meet your legal duty and keep your workers safe: https://t.co/pGwyqkZmHa #WorkRight

[The British Occupational Hygiene Society @BOHSworld]

Latest figures released by @H_S_E show nearly 12,000 deaths a year from work-related lung disease.

We are concerned as despite years of effort to address respiratory illness, the decline in deaths over the last decade has not been significant.

What a great example of dust control!

[Health and Safety Executive @H_S_E]

This good practice was found on a house-build site, a battery powered saw with a battery powered dust extraction system, which the worker could turn on via a remote control on his wrist. Find out more about how to control dust here - https://t.co/31sOMFIwRH #Dustbuster #WorkRight

[HCLG @constructhealth]

What a great example of good practice!

[Health and Safety Executive @H_S_E]

GOOD PRACTICE: This picture shows a welfare area for workers on site. Clearly a lot of thought has been given to making the area COVID-secure. Find out more about how to make your workplace COVID-secure here: https://t.co/vas2uWwo2m #Dustbusters #WorkRight

[Health and Safety Executive @H_S_E]

BAD PRACTICE! As well as obstructing your vision, failure to control exposure to silica dust can seriously affect your health. Manage dust at the source, using extraction or water suppression and wear correct RPE. Find out more here: https://t.co/OUwR60O5Zy #Dustbuster #WorkRight
