This 2004 video shows provides an overview and construction details for a clothes cleaning system to reduce the risk of exposure to hazardous respirable dust on a worker’s clothing. Contaminated worker clothing has been identified as a source of exposure to respirable dust. If this respirable dust contains silica, it may cause the worker to develop silicosis, an irreversible lung disease.
