Dust is one of the biggest causes of soil loss in Australia, and it is also a serious pollution problem which could affect homes and businesses close to your construction site. As the manager of a construction project which involves moving large amounts of soil, the control of dust is extremely important. With more regulations insisting that there is an increasing need for mining and construction industries to use soil stabilisers in Australia in order to prevent environmental damage and los of soil in areas where flooding might be a risk, it is now more important than ever that companies take action. Learning how to manage dust is extremely important.  

Identifying risks and problems

One of the first steps in any Australian dust control protocol is to identify and list any areas where dust might become a problem, or, when it is an issue for the entire site, where the use of dust control products will most usefully be placed. By working out where these areas are, the project manager will be able to harness the best dust control methods in order to boost their effectiveness while diminishing the cost of the process. Listing processes which can help, including preventing earth roads around the site to be disturbed, ensuring that they are constantly in the same place to prevent disturbance of more soil than is necessary, the use of dust control products, and the steps that should be taken around the site to prevent dust from being carried out with workers and lorries, can help to ensure that no severe soil erosion damage occurs during the project.

  Researching the best dust control products
Companies should also look at the most modern products used in the dust management system. These might include the use of water and soap mixtures which help to keep dust on the ground, rather than in the air, the use of regular 'wetting' of dust piles and roads in order to prevent dust clouds, and similar products designed to help businesses better manage their dust control. By implementing these changes as soon as possible after construction starts, businesses can help to stop soil erosion at the very start of sediment loss, and this will help them to get better marks from their environmental body's inspectors. By managing the dust problem effectively, industry will also win the support of nearby homes and businesses.
