Managing dust in the food manufacturing industry is critical for ensuring both food safety and worker health
The food processing industries role is to deliver safe and high-quality consumable products to consumers. These production environments present air quality challenges due to dust, airborne contaminants, and odours generated during processing, packaging and handling. The maintenance of a clean workspace is essential to meet strict food safety regulations and standards and protect worker health.
In the UK, businesses involved in the manufacture of food items must comply with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, Good Standards Agency (FSA) regulations, and COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) standards. Effective dust and fume extraction systems help businesses within food processing maintain hygienic conditions, prevent-cross contamination and comply with industry regulations.
