Dust, Debris & Compliance: Air Scrubbers on Construction and Demolition Sites: How Negative Air Machines Protect Workers and Meet OH&S Standards
Share
The Hidden Danger in the Air
Construction and demolition sites are busy, high-risk environments — and one of the biggest hazards is invisible.
Dust, silica, and debris particles released during cutting, grinding, or concrete removal can travel deep into workers’ lungs, leading to chronic respiratory issues and costly OH&S breaches.
As regulations tighten across Australia, contractors are expected to demonstrate active air quality control on every site.
That’s where LoFlowAir’s industrial air scrubbers come in — engineered to remove airborne hazards and maintain safe, compliant conditions 24/7.

Why Dust Control Is Critical for OH&S Compliance
WorkSafe guidelines require employers to limit exposure to silica dust, asbestos fibres, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Traditional fans or open-air ventilation can’t capture microscopic particles — but negative air machines can.
LoFlowAir air scrubbers use multi-stage HEPA filtration to capture 99.97 % of particulates down to 0.3 microns, while generating negative pressure zones that prevent contaminated air from spreading between work areas.
The result: cleaner air, safer workers, and full compliance with Australia’s stringent OH&S standards.

How LoFlowAir Air Scrubbers Keep Sites Safe
✅ Confined-Space Protection – Maintain breathable air in enclosed demolition zones or interior renovations.
✅ Dust & Debris Capture – Eliminate fine construction particles that standard ventilation misses.
✅ Flexible Deployment – Portable, stackable units designed for fast setup and easy relocation.
✅ Regulatory Confidence – Tested to Australian IAQ and workplace safety standards.
Each scrubber creates a controlled airflow environment that keeps airborne contaminants inside the workspace — not in workers’ lungs.
