Wood Housekeeping FAQ
Dust is inevitable, and manufacturing facilities must take the proper measures to understand the risks, and take solid measures to prevent potential hazards. Wood poses a health risk and an explosion risk when particles become airborne in combustible environments. Code violations can not only be costly, but life-threatening as well.
Why is housekeeping regulated in the wood industry?
According to a Center for Public Integrity analysis cited by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, more than 450 accidents involving combustible dust have killed nearly 130 workers and injured another 800+ since 1980. These accidents were caused by a variety of dust sources including sugar, nylon fiber, coal, iron, plastic and wood.
Are HAFCOVAC's regulated for the woodworking industry?
Yes. HafcoVacs are designed for the woodworking industry. They are OSHA and NFPA compliant to safely store wood dust, pieces and chips without the hazards of electric motor burnout or shock. Hafcovacs are pneumatic vacuums that are non-explosive in and of themselves. They are safe for use as part of a combustible dust control program suitable for wood and many other flammable materials.
Do I need a certified Vacuum for wood applications?
Most likely, yes. Certified means approved for combustible materials. Wood is highly flammable and airborne posing increased risk for combustion.
The HafcoVac ATEX EX Series is our certified and most popular pneumatic vacuum to accommodate all wood materials. A pre-installed HEPA filter in every ATEX model prevents wood dust from becoming airborne during processes like sanding and cutting. The fully grounded unit is perfect to dispel static electricity buildup. The pre-installed S’HUSH Silencer reduces noise to 77dB.
