| Abstract |
Woodworking or the machining of wood-based composite materials generates dust which is dispersed in the workplace air and which may be inhaled by the workers. Radial saws in particular can be very polluting if not equipped with an efficient local exhaust system. Consequently, the improvement of working conditions often requires changing the existing exhaust systems. This technical report describes an improved dust exhaust system which prevents the dispersion of dust, and presents the results of workplace airborne dust measurements with radial saws equipped with either standard exhaust systems or with the improved system. It also includes all technical details and drawings needed to install such a system. |
