subject: Some Places You Should Find A Dust Containment Cart...and May Not [print this page] Dust and debris are a fact of life in areas of construction and maintenance. However, there are some places where you do not want the dust and debris to settle. Using a dust containment cart in these areas only makes sense. By law, these carts must be used in medical facilities to keep dust and debris away from patients and medical personnel. This same dust and debris should be contained in other places as well. Here are some places you should find one of these carts and likely will not see them:
1.Retail spaces If a department store has to call in someone to do some basic maintenance or repair work on the ceiling or wall, the company doing the work should use a dust containment cart. The dust and debris released by the work can scatter into the air and settle on clothing and other retail merchandise. This is not a good situation for the retailer trying to sell products or the clients trying to buy them.
2.Office spaces with IT equipment When an office space requires maintenance, the maintenance guy usually comes in with a ladder and proceeds to open up ceiling spaces or knocks holes in walls. The dust and debris released goes everywhere. Many times office occupants will need to dust their desks down. The real damage though is in the IT equipment. The filters on this equipment cannot handle the dust and debris. It can restrict airflow and cause overheating. That can dramatically shorten the life of IT equipment.
3.Clean manufacturing spaces Many products have to be created and packaged in clean manufacturing spaces. When someone needs to do maintenance and repairs in these spaces, using a dust containment cart is essential. It can keep dust and debris within an enclosed space. Using a negative air machine helps to scrub the air before releasing it back into the space. It keeps the need for deep cleaning to a minimum.
4.Food preparation spaces In areas where food is prepared, dust and debris are not what you want floating in the area. Like clean manufacturing spaces, it is essential to contain these fine particulates to keep cleaning to a minimum. This will help keep the food prep areas clean and the hygiene level to a maximum.
5.Open storage areas Spaces where items are kept on open shelves are ideal places for the use of a dust containment cart. An example of this is a linen storage area in a large hotel. Sheets, pillow cases, towels, and other linens are sitting on the shelves waiting for the next use. When dust and debris settles into these fibers, the only solution is to rewash them. Containing the dust is a better solution for all.
