Our project office is situated near a concrete batching plant, during the wind flows to the office direction, dust is carried into the office affecting the air quality and staff comfort.

what practical control measures can be taken to reduce dust exposure to the office.

I would appreciate any practical examples of engineering controls or temporary measures effective in similar conditions.

Thankyou for your response.

The batching plant belongs to a company that also supplies concrete to our project and was approved as a part of the project setup at the early stage. At that time , dust was not a major issue.

The dust problem became more noticable when large quantities of aggregates started arriving, Then we instruct them to move the aggregate to another location to reduce dust generation.|

Unfortunately, relocating the batching plant or offices is not possible at this stage. At present, the best option we have is to manage the issue with some control measures until the main casting works are completed, whichis expected to complete on mid 2026

We are now planing to install some screen around our boundary wall to reduce the dust during wind.

Agree with Peter if its affecting your office would be worried for the operatives on site, depending on what the dust contains.

Its been a lot of years since i looked at dust suppresion and even then it was more from the nusance side of things not H&S. Back in the day water sprays were the most common systems - but obviously not suitable for all processes, and you have to consider environmental run off.

Did a quick google and this was my 1st hit Industrial Dust Suppression, no idea how good they are but gives you an idea of what systems might be avilable.
