Stages of Commercial Flooring Safety
Implementation of Silica Safety
Many of our diverse flooring products and materials require our associates to cut, drill, or otherwise manipulate their size to fit them to your business’ specifications. For any flooring material that contains quartz or silica, failure to properly handle the job can be seriously dangerous to one’s respiratory system. We always protect the safety and health of your employees and our workers with the following actions:
- Use of power-tools with built-in safety mechanisms to prevent excess exposure to silica
- Customized systems that do not allow the disbursement of harmful particles
- Maintenance of a fresh air-flow through your space in which the new floor material is installed
- Continuously changing air that minimizes risk of excess exposure to silica dust
Effective Material Handling for Your Industry
In nearly every industry, there are standards for the storage, use, and disposal of certain substances. These may include adhesives, insulators, conductors, or a variety of common industrial chemicals. Division 09 always enforces detailed, strict instructions for the handling of materials for your business’ new floor. We follow your industry’s regulations with the following actions:
