Writing a Dust Monitoring Plan
A step-by-step overview of the key features and questions to ask when designing a dust monitoring plan for your next remediation project.
Are you involved in remediation or other earth-moving activities?
Dust emissions are an inevitable part of any construction or remediation project. How you go about managing any resulting air pollution is critical to project success. Avoid trouble and fulfil your legal and moral obligations as a responsible site operator with a detailed monitoring plan.
Failure to keep dust pollution in check could result in:
Project delays
Costly fines
Permanent site shutdown
Reputational damage
Lung irritation and other respiratory health issues
Having a plan in place demonstrates a clear intention to limit the potential impact of your operations on residents and the surrounding environment. This goes a long way toward satisfying regulators and maintaining trust within the community.
Inside, we’ve covered all the necessary steps for designing an effective dust monitoring plan, including:
Carrying out an initial site assessment
Spotlighting potential risk factors
Establishing a robust dust mitigation plan
Taking swift and effective corrective action when needed
