HSE Guide FL8 – “Stand-Alone Dust Collectors”
First published in Sept 2016, this sheet describes HSE’s view on good control practice when using a stand-alone dust collector where there is no room to install fixed dust extraction.
It covers the key points Employers need to follow to help reduce exposure to an adequate level.
HSE requires Employers to either follow all the points listed in FL8, or use other equally effective measures.
