OUR SERVICES IN BRONKHORSTSPRUIT AND EKANDUSTRIA
- Is silica a risk in a ceramics factory?
Yes. Clay, glazes and fired products contain crystalline silica, and mixing, pressing, fettling and cleaning release respirable dust. Personal monitoring is usually needed.
Do kiln operators need a heat stress survey?
Where they work near hot kilns or handle hot ware, yes. The Physical Agents Regulations, 2024 require heat to be assessed where it may affect employees.
How often must a factory's noise survey be repeated?
The noise risk assessment must be reviewed at least every two years, or sooner if processes or equipment change.
