To counter the Work Health & Safety risks posed by friable asbestos on our remediation projects on the Western Sydney Airport, OCON installed Negative Air Pressure Filter Systems on our plant and equipment used for handling asbestos materials. The pressure system works by keeping the cabin of mobile plant dust free using a highly effective filter system. It was the installation of these systems that resulted in our award of our initial contract at Western Sydney Airport.
Our clients Asbestos Assessor praised us for going above and beyond industry best practise, and being possibly the first contractor within NSW to use this method.
With Silica Dust now a focus within the industry due to its harmful impacts to the respiratory system, and our business’s potential exposure to the substance, OCON now use the Negative Air Pressure Filter systems on all our rock and concrete breaking activities such as demolition, crushing and screening and hammering.
