You know what they say about the devil being in the details? When it comes to dust containment on a jobsite, that devilish detail is productivity. It's not just about meeting OSHA compliance or sustainability standards (although those are important too). Poor dust containment practices can have a direct impact on your bottom line - and we're not talking about the cost of cleaning up after yourself.
First off, let's talk about the obvious: visibility. When you've got a jobsite shrouded in a thick veil of dust, it becomes nearly impossible to see what you're doing. That means more mistakes, more rework, and less productivity.
According to the Construction Labor Research Council, workers at jobsites with poor air quality take 15% longer to complete tasks than those at sites with good air quality.
And if that doesn't sound like a lot, consider this: that's an extra week of work on a six-month project. An extra month on a two-year project.
