Today, as part of its commitment to improving the jobsite work environment, DEWALT announces the launch of a new system of tools designed to reduce workers'exposure to dust and its harmful effects. The system includes three hammer shrouds, two grinder shrouds and a vacuum connector system that will combat dust inhalation associated with concrete cutting, chipping and drilling applications.According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, silica exposure remains a serious threat to nearly 2 million U.S. workers. Contractors who breathe in crystalline silica dust are susceptible to silicosis, an incurable respiratory disease that can be disabling or even fatal in severe cases.
"Dust and crystalline silica exposure is a serious issue facing many contractors today. Our new dust collection system, along with our current dust extraction products, will help to protect users and allow them to feel confident in the tools they require to earn a living."The Hole Drilling and Cleaning Hammer Shroud (DWH050K) offers two interchangeable drilling heads ― one for holes up to 1-1/2 inches and one for holes up to 2 inches ― to extract the dust created from drilling.
The product is equipped with a tough rubber seal that adheres to most masonry surfaces when activated by a vacuum suction. The DWH050K also includes 5/16-inch and 9/16-inch hole cleaning tubes used to extract the dust from holes prior to applying epoxy for chemical anchoring. This kit is compatible with all DEWALT hammers and hammerdrills."We recognize that we have a role in helping to make jobsites as safe and productive as possible," said Jeff Beck, product manager, DEWALT.City council approves measures to assist expansion of Gates plant.
