Our Service
Silica dust removal involves eliminating fine particles of crystalline silica generated from cutting, grinding, or drilling materials like concrete, brick, or engineered stone. This process is essential because inhaling silica dust can lead to serious health issues, including silicosis, lung cancer, and other respiratory diseases. Effective removal and control measures protect workers’ health and ensure compliance with Australian workplace safety regulations.

What is Involved
At AllAces, we take silica dust removal seriously by following a comprehensive and systematic approach to ensure a safe environment for everyone involved.
Site Assessment: We start by conducting a thorough site assessment to understand the extent of silica dust contamination. This allows us to evaluate all risk factors, identify high-risk areas, and create a tailored removal strategy that meets your property’s specific needs.
Hazard Identification: During the initial inspection, we identified all hazards associated with silica dust, including areas with heavy dust accumulation and those at risk of exposure. Our team ensures compliance with safety standards to minimise potential health risks to occupants and workers.
Site Regulations Compliance: We strictly adhere to all relevant site regulations and legal requirements, ensuring that the silica removal process complies with local health and safety guidelines, including Safe Work Australia, Safe Work NSW, Work Safe QLD and Work Safe VIC. Our team is trained to follow industry best practices for silica dust removal to ensure safety throughout the entire operation.
Engineering Controls: Using state-of-the-art engineering controls, we employ advanced methods like wet suppression, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and negative air machines to capture and contain silica dust. These measures reduce airborne contaminants and ensure minimal disruption to surrounding areas.
Completion Reporting: Once the removal process is complete, a detailed final inspection is performed to confirm the effectiveness of the decontamination. You will receive a comprehensive completion report that outlines the steps taken, materials removed, and any necessary follow-up actions.
Additional Testing Measures: For extra assurance, we can arrange for third-party verification from an Occupational Hygienist or Environmental Scientist. This independent visual inspection and external sign-off ensures that all silica dust has been removed to safe levels and that the site is secure for reoccupation, should you require further confirmation.
