Air Scrubbers in Construction: Meeting OH&S Standards on Active Sites Keeping Workers Safe, Sites Compliant, and Air Clean
The Dust Problem You Can’t Afford to Ignore
Construction, demolition, and renovation sites generate more than noise — they generate airborne dust, smoke, and fine particles that threaten both worker health and legal compliance.
Under Australia’s Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) laws, employers must manage exposure to harmful airborne contaminants such as silica dust, asbestos fibres, and construction debris.
Failure to do so can result in serious health risks, WorkSafe penalties, and costly project delays.
The solution? Smart, portable air filtration systems designed specifically for construction and industrial environments — like LoFlowAir’s high-performance air scrubbers.
What Are Air Scrubbers — and Why Do They Matter?
Air scrubbers (also known as negative air machines) use multi-stage HEPA filtration to capture up to 99.97% of airborne particles, removing dust, smoke, and contaminants before they reach workers’ lungs.
They are vital for:
✅ Controlling silica dust and fine debris in enclosed work areas
✅ Creating negative air zones during demolition or restoration
✅ Reducing airborne particles released from sanding, cutting, or grinding
✅ Improving compliance documentation for OH&S and WorkSafe inspections
By filtering the air continuously, air scrubbers keep construction environments safer, cleaner, and legally compliant — without disrupting work.

LoFlowAir’s range of industrial air scrubbers is engineered to withstand the toughest site conditions while meeting Australia’s highest filtration standards.
💨 HEPA-UV Filtration: Removes fine particles, pathogens, and fumes for cleaner, breathable air.
🏗️ Rugged, Portable Design: Built for mobility across dynamic work zones.
⚙️ Negative Air Capability: Enables sealed containment areas for hazardous materials.
📊 Smart IAQ Monitoring: Provides real-time data for compliance reports and OH&S audits.
These systems are trusted by restoration contractors, civil engineers, and industrial builders across Australia to keep teams safe and projects compliant.
WorkSafe and OH&S Compliance Simplified
Air quality compliance on active worksites doesn’t have to be complicated.
LoFlowAir helps businesses align with:
- WorkSafe Victoria and WHS exposure standards for respirable crystalline silica (RCS)
- AS/NZS 1715 & 1716 (respiratory protection and air filtration guidelines)
- WELL Building and NABERS post-construction standards for air quality
With proper filtration and data-driven monitoring, your site can easily demonstrate due diligenceduring inspections and audits.
Beyond Compliance: Protecting People and Reputation
Construction companies that invest in cleaner air go beyond ticking a regulatory box — they protect their workforce, reduce liability, and enhance their ESG profile.
Cleaner air means:
- Fewer respiratory illnesses and sick days
- Longer-lasting equipment and cleaner surfaces
- A stronger safety culture and public reputation
It’s not just compliance — it’s corporate responsibility done right.
Build Safer, Breathe Easier, Stay Compliant
LoFlowAir’s air scrubbers deliver reliable performance, rugged durability, and verifiable compliance results for every site.
When air safety is managed properly, productivity follows naturally.
