| Abstract |
Manufacturing techniques and spatial conditions must be taken into account when developing technical measures to reduce dust exposure during fettling operations in foundries. Since there are numerous ways of implementing such technical measures, it is difficult to define generally applicable rules. Experience with already implemented measures and with advisory participation in the planning of technical measures to be realised at different workplaces may be helpful for designing new dust-reducing installations or modifying existing ones. This report deals with a number of examples of such experience. In accordance with the hierarchy of protective measures specified in the Ordinance on hazardous substances (CIS 89-1079), generally observable rules are referred to. In the second part of the report, concrete examples of installations and technical equipment are used to describe dust-reducing measures and to assess their efficiency.
