⚠ OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153
Respirable crystalline silica exposure on construction sites must be controlled. Penalties for non-compliance can exceed $16,000 per violation.
Our HEPA vacuums are designed to be paired with shrouded tools as part of Table 1 — a recognized dust-minimizing method for silica control on construction sites.

Cutting, grinding and drilling concrete, stone or masonry releases respirable crystalline silica. OSHA's construction standard requires employers to limit exposure below the PEL of 50 μg/m³ over an 8-hour TWA.
A HEPA-filtered industrial vacuum, paired with the right shrouded tool and work practices, supports OSHA silica compliance. The vacuum alone is not a guarantee — your full control plan is.
The cost of doing nothing
Construction silica dust is one of the most cited OSHA hazards in Texas. Here's what's at stake on uncontrolled jobs.
Citations & shutdowns
Unmanaged silica dust draws OSHA citations and stop-work orders that derail schedules.
Workforce health risk
Silicosis and lung disease risk grows with cumulative exposure on uncontrolled sites.
Cleanup & rework cost
Settled dust spreads through finished spaces and burns hours in cleanup labor.
Failed inspections
GCs and owners increasingly require documented dust control before sign-off.
Built for Houston construction work
From high-rise buildouts in the Galleria to refinery turnarounds and residential remodels — our HEPA vacuums are sized for the dust your crews actually generate.
What a real construction HEPA vacuum needs
True HEPA filtration
Captures ≥99.97% of particles at 0.3 μm — the standard for respirable silica capture.
Sufficient airflow (CFM)
Matched to your shrouded tool's airflow requirement so dust is captured at the source.
Wet/dry capability
Handles dry silica dust and concrete slurry from wet grinding without changing filters.
Self-cleaning filters
Pulse or shaker cleaning keeps suction strong through long shifts on dusty work.

Yes. Our wet/dry HEPA-capable units recover dry silica, drywall and concrete dust as well as slurry from grinding and coring.
