ISO 23875 (although titled Mining) can be applied in other industries where operators are working in cabins for protection.

Where there are mines with operators in cabs there is potential, if not controlled, for operators to be exposed to dusts.

In recent times (and rightly so) there has been a significant increase in the focus on psychological health & safety risk.

The application of ISO 23875 for the construction industry is not just for Queensland but really applies globally.

The New Code outlines how duty holders can meet the requirements of the work health & safety legislation.

ISO 23875 can help a mine operator improve the safety and health of its equipment operators, increase operational efficiency, and more.

COPD: The importance of other causative factors such as occupational exposures and ambient particulate matter is increasingly recognized.

One goal: to be able to use an App and your phone camera to measure levels using cross-polarized light!

For machine operators, the cab is their most important personal protection equipment.

Demonstrating the power of an individual to impact not only a company but the lives of everyone that would use a Cat cab in the future.

The dust created by exploding earth is respirable, which permeates deep into the lower lung tissue.

The reliability engineers have learned the truth about ISO 23875 – it works.

Producing operator enclosures that are designed, manufactured, and retrofitted to produce acceptable air quality in all environments.

All these occupational lung diseases are preventable. Limiting exposure to respirable dust can stop the development of the disease

As we consider standards for operator enclosures (e.g. for mobile equipment), it is essential to ensure the engineering controls recommended

What is dust? Is it harmful? Before we tackle these, we need to understand what aerosols are, allowing us to determine where dust fits...
