The European Demolition Association, EDA, has launched its new Guide to Dust in Demolition, a technical publication aimed at helping professionals better understand and manage one of the most common challenges on demolition sites.
Dust can be generated throughout a demolition project, from internal soft stripping and hand demolition to mechanical demolition, material handling, loading, crushing and screening. While it is an inherent part of many demolition activities, airborne dust needs to be properly managed because it can affect workers, nearby communities, the environment and site operations.
The guide covers the basic concepts associated with demolition dust, its potential impacts, the main sources and factors influencing dust generation, and the measures that may be implemented to minimise emissions and exposure. It also addresses worker protection, monitoring approaches and relevant regulatory considerations.
Moreover, the publication is intended for a wide range of professionals involved in demolition projects, including contractors and project managers, site supervisors, health and safety professionals, clients and asset owners, consultants, regulatory authorities and training organisations.
