However, dust collectors can be a fire or explosion hazard if they are designed incorrectly or not equipped with controls that prevent deflagration and contain explosions. These controls include fire resistant cartridges, sprinkler connections, explosion vents, suppression systems, and backdraft dampers.

Safety Considerations

• A clean facility is vital for worker and visitor safety. Prevention of slips and falls are a main concern for anyone running a business. Keeping fleeting dust contained minimizes the risk of slippery floors.
• Some ingredients are allergens/irritants another serious concern for those who are affected. Airborne allergen/irritants particles could cause serious illness and even death if ingested continuously or at high levels.
