Burr King Dust Collection System Answers Safety Hazards
Two models are available from Burr King
For decades Burr King Manufacturing has offered its customers the option of purchasing a dust collection system for their equipment. Until just recently many manufactures have simply ignored the option for dust collection sighting upfront cost associated with air quality. While OSHA currently does not have a specific standard on combustible dust hazards, they are issuing fine under Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act, often referred to as the General Duty Clause, which requires employers to “furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees.
