Capture, Contain, Control!

And The Not-So-Secret 'Source' Focus for Effective Hazard Control

RVT Group General Manager Roy Sutton has attended hundreds of infrastructure, mining, construction and industry project sites where the source of dust and/or fumes has been overlooked during hazard control efforts.

In this presentation he will share his insights for hazard control best practice, citing several case studies, including:

• Cross Yarra Partnership (CYP) welded hot works fume — capture at source
• CYP thermite welding for train rails
• Client project: Encapsulation and extraction unit for sandblasting on a high-rise building
• Client project: Shotcreting — the filtration system for capturing shotcreting dust at the source
• Sydney tunnels diesel fume extraction and filtration systems — a comprehensive approach.

Special Guest: AIOH President Aleks Todorovic
