Meeting dust exposure limits
July 1st 2007

A-Plant has added new tools, dust extraction/suppression products and other equipment to the company's hire fleet to help construction companies meet new dust exposure limits introduced in October 2006 by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).

A-Plant's dedication to raising health and safety standards in the construction industry is demonstrated by the company's 'Site Safety Pack', a comprehensive pack of safety information comprising folders, posters, stickers, Hand-Arm Vibration leaflets and an extensive 60-page health and safety handbook. To support the new dust extraction/suppression products in the fleet, A-Plant has launched an enhanced version of the Site Safety Pack featuring a new Dust Supplement focusing on the substantially reduced WELs for RCS exposure.
