DPM Compliance & Worker Safety

Marco Blue > DPM Compliance & Worker Safety

About DPM Compliance

Ensuring a Safe Underground Environment

Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) is a classified carcinogen and a major occupational health risk in underground mining. DPM compliance refers to meeting strict regulatory standards for controlling and minimizing worker exposure to these harmful exhaust emissions. The most effective method for achieving compliance is through engineering controls, primarily the use of high-efficiency Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) to capture soot at the source.

Protecting Your Workforce

DPM Compliance for Worker Safety

Protecting underground mining personnel from Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) is a priority. We provide exquisitely engineered DPF solutions to ensure your site meets and exceeds safety compliance standards for worker health.

A Serious Hazard

Understanding DPM Health Risks

Diesel Particulate Matter consists of soot, aerosols, and metallic ash, which are known carcinogens. Long-term exposure to DPM can cause serious health issues. Reducing exposure is critical for the long-term health of your workforce.

The Most Effective Solution

DPFs as a Primary Control Measure

High-performance Diesel Particulate Filters are the most effective engineering control for reducing DPM. Our DPFs are designed to capture more than 99% of harmful particulates, ensuring a cleaner and safer working environment for underground personnel.

Your Questions Answered

Why Choose Our Compliance Solutions?

How effective are your DPFs in meeting compliance standards?

Our DPFs are engineered to exceed typical compliance standards. By utilizing high-quality filter media, we achieve a capture rate of over 99% for Diesel Particulate Matter, providing the highest level of protection and ensuring you meet even the most stringent regulatory requirements.

Is installing a DPF the only step for compliance?

While a DPF is the primary control, long-term compliance depends on maintaining its performance. That's why we offer a complete solution, including regular servicing, deep cleaning, and Exhaust Backpressure Monitoring (EBM) to ensure your filters are always operating at peak efficiency and providing maximum protection.

How can we prove our DPFs are working effectively?

Our EBM data loggers provide tangible, data-driven proof of your DPF's performance. By logging backpressure and temperature, you have a verifiable record that demonstrates your control measures are functioning correctly, which is invaluable for internal audits and regulatory reporting.

Why is a focus on DPM safety crucial for our operation?

Prioritizing DPM safety is not just about meeting regulations; it's about protecting the long-term health of your most valuable asset—your people. A clean air environment leads to a healthier, more productive workforce and demonstrates a strong commitment to occupational health and safety.
