High-risk environments, like hospitals and medical facilities, need regular maintenance and renovations. However, it can be hazardous for dust and other contaminants to permeate high-risk spaces. It is important to make sure that contaminants don’t harm patients and staff, so it is vital that any project—but specifically projects in sensitive areas—include equipment that reduces the risk of illness and contamination, like air purifiers.
Getting rid of dust in the air is important, and HEPACART® offers a diverse array of equipment that can lessen the risk of lingering contaminants. Dust can settle in as soon as three minutes, so it is important to be vigilant to ensure that everyone is as safe as possible. Here’s how you keep construction dust out of the air:
Although it is frustrating to have to clean up dust, the side effects of being negligent with your clean-up process are severe. Inhaling dust can lead to severe health problems and even death. If dust accumulates and is left uncleaned over time, then residents and staff can develop rare lung diseases and other complications.
HEPACART®’s products are made so that you can avoid these consequences. HEPACART’s mobile containment and filtration systems have built-in dust containment systems, which lessens the chance of complications or future health problems. When you’re working in a children’s hospital, for example, you don’t want dust around vulnerable populations.
With machines like the HEPACART® Classic, you don’t have to worry about endangering those around you, because the machine can adjust and seal to almost all ceilings. This means that the HEPACART® Classic contains construction projects inside of an enclosed space, ensuring that the safety of the laborer and community remain unendangered. Inside the HEPACART® Classic are filtration systems, and each Hepacart Classic is mobile, to accommodate any workspace.
Moreover, products like the AIR Negative Air Machine, are air filtration systems that kill 99.9% of pathogens. This means that this product can combat things like mold, viruses, bacteria, and dust. Compared to other kinds of UVC systems, which usually only combat 1% of pathogens, the UV-FORCE system is a force to be reckoned with.
Being safe during a renovation is the most important thing. When working in conditions that will garner dust, be sure to thoroughly clean the workspace and follow all of the proper safety precautions. To ensure maximum safety, HEPACART®’s products are here to help.
