Construction and earthworks activities across New Zealand generate significant dust emissions that pose serious health risks to workers and surrounding communities. With increasing regulatory scrutiny and stricter environmental consent requirements, effective dust suppression has become essential for maintaining compliance and protecting public health.

Why Dust Suppression Can't Be Ignored
Airborne dust particles cause respiratory issues, reduce visibility for machinery operators, and contribute to environmental degradation. WorkSafe New Zealand requires that exposure to hazardous substances, including construction dust, be prevented where practical, making proper dust control both a legal obligation and a safety imperative.
Construction dust doesn't stay contained to worksites; it affects neighbouring properties and contributes to air quality issues. For construction companies operating under environmental consents, demonstrating effective dust management is crucial for maintaining community relationships and regulatory compliance.
