How will an industrial vacuum help me combat combustible dust?
A. Organizations like OSHA and the NFPA have recommended that facilities incorporate properly equipped industrial vacuum cleaners into their maintenance plans in order to decrease the risk for a combustible dust fire/explosion. With the right accessories, industrial vacuums can remove dust from floors, walls, machinery, overhead pipes, and other hard-to-reach areas. And, unlike mops and brooms which often create dust clouds, industrial vacuums safely collect and retain combustible dust within the collection container.
