If you have already purchased a “HEPA-Type, HEPA-Like (etc.)” filter or piece of “HEPA-Ready” equipment, we strongly suggest you to take additional health and safety precautions, by using masks or other pieces of safety equipment to make sure you’re not risking your life and breathing in toxic silica dust and other hazardous particles.
If you’re thinking about investing, make sure to check the HEPA filters for the proper labeling and certification. Do your research and educate yourself so that you end up investing in something that doesn’t protect you, your workers, your customers, or even your friends and family from the serious and dangerous effects and life altering consequences of silica exposure and other hazards.
HEFTY OSHA FINES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE
this last point is not health related but still verry important, OSHA is checking jobsites for noncompliance and issuing multi thousand dollar fines if the contractor is found to not be in compliance with their mandate. so, all the more reason to be informed and have the correct, certified HEPA filter system in use at all times.
We want to make sure that all of you are protected so if you have any questions about this blog or anything related to HEPA Filters, or Bartell Global equipment please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to help.
