Cleaning Hazardous Dusts & Environments

Hazard Defined

Diseases of the nasal mucous membranes, larynx, trachea, bronchial system and lungs are generally caused by a large number of dusts that are inhaled as we breathe. These miniature particles are normally invisible to the naked eye so the threat is often underestimated. On the skin, health-endangering dusts can cause skin irritations, eczema, dermatitis or allergies.

At worst, the particles can develop a carcinogenic effect. Particular attention therefore has to be paid to prevention, i.e. keeping the air we breathe clean. Up to 99.995% of the hazardous solids are filtered out by safety vacuum cleaners.

The flammability or reactivity depends on the degree of atomisation and the size of the surface area. The finer the dust, the higher the risk of an explosion!

Workplace Hazards

Dusts can be found in many workplaces, such as hospitals, medical establishments, pharmaceutical facilities, aerospace, printing and a wide range of manufacturing industries such as paper and food production.

Notes

Requirements for Safety Vacuums according to IEC/EN 60335-2-69, Appendix AA in Chapters 1.11 and 1. 12.

Hazardous dusts are divided into so-called dust classes (L,M, H). Each class has vacuums which are suited to them and fulfil the special requirements. The dusts can be found in dangerous material list, information about the class of your dust is available from the official sources (i.e. Health and Safety Executives) or call CCM on 08702 200 575.

Hazardous Environment

Hazard Defined

A hazardous environment is one where there is a danger of explosion due to the presence of oxygen, an ignition source with sufficient ignition energy and a flammable substance (gaseous, liquid or solid) e.g. explosive dusts or liquids, or flammable materials such as cotton or paper, flour or even some metals!

The flammability or reactivity depends on the degree of atomisation and the size of the surface area. The finer the dust, the higher the risk of an explosion!

Workplace Hazards

The potential for explosive atmospheres can exist in many workplace locations such as mines, factories, agricultural silos, oil and gas platforms, aerospace and many chemical processing industries.

Notes

Equipment and Protective Systems intended for use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres are covered by the following Directive in the European Union : Equipment and Protective Systems intended for use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX) Directive 94/9/EC. Details can be found at the following DTI site: www.dti.gov.uk. The definition of explosive dusts can vary from country to country.

Hazard Defined

The new safety vacuum cleaner, the Gun Powder Vacuum, is a high technology product, developed as the first vacuum on the market that is approved by the German TUV health authority for vacuuming gunpowder. This new Gun Powder Vac provides a highly effective, easy to use and safe cleaning tool to remove un-burnt gunpowder that ultimately gives you a safe environment.

Main uses

Any application where un-burnt remnants of gunpowder exist, such as fireworks factories, firing ranges, ammunition or other MOD / armaments manufacturing.

Notes

The law requires that only special B1 accessories are used with such equipment.
