Dust control is far from straightforward or easy work — read on to learn more about what a well-designed dust control program truly looks like. Unfortunately, none of the above rings the least bit true: dust control is a complex science that requires significant expertise to tackle successfully.

Perhaps the most important thing to remember when it comes to a dust control program is that different sites call for different product chemistries, as well as different approaches to application.

Depending on a wide variety of factors relating to your site, including climate, traffic patterns, and environmental regulations, your dust control program will need to accomplish a predetermined control efficiency while also accounting for these variables. It is crucial to ensure that your vendor can accurately assess the needs of your site and then match those needs to the appropriate products.

An effective dust control program will always establish objectives to be accomplished over a predetermined program duration. A big problem that crops up when you buy a product instead of a program is that when the product your vendor sold you fails to bring about the desired level of dust control, the vendor will simply suggest that you buy more of it. Consider the option of outsourcing management of the application process and be sure to ask if your vendor can handle the application for you.
