Dust Assessments For Planning Applications
We offer complete solutions for dust, beginning with dust testing and assessments, which are generally a requirement for planning applications.
The effects of dust in relation to soiling (local amenity) and health can be a concern in the planning process, and visible dust emissions and deposition can lead to complaints.
However, dust can be generated in several processes, including during demolition and construction activities, mineral activities such as quarrying, industrial processes such as cement batching, and waste management. Our team is well-versed in dust risk assessments, and they’re always ready to help you discover which solution is going to be best for your business.

Why Undertake Dust Assessments With Ultra Protect?
Did you know that dust costs the UK economy over £20 billion annually? According to the HSE, over 39,000 people have respiratory or lung problems due to dust issues in the workplace. This accounts for thousands of working days lost due to ill health caused by dust.
It is estimated that around
100 times
as many workers die from diseases caused or made worse by their work than are killed in construction accidents.
Last year, tiny particles of sand, wood and asbestos contributed to 12,000 deaths from lung disease in the UK.
It is easy to ignore the dust. After all, they are tiny specks we don’t even tend to notice. But the numbers are as clear as they are shocking; dust is a high risk that we need to counteract.
When you take part in our dust risk assessments, you can prioritise your employees’ safety as well as staying compliant with the most recent HSE regulations.
