Construction industry

Recognize hazardous substances. Preserve health

The construction industry is an extremely dynamic working environment in which a wide variety of materials are processed, cut, mixed, and removed on a daily basis. This makes it almost impossible to avoid the formation of dust. Typical types of dust include mineral and stone-based dusts from concrete, bricks, mortar, tiles, and natural stone. Crystalline silica (quartz dust), which is produced when cutting, drilling, or grinding concrete and stone, is particularly critical. Wood dust, gypsum, and plaster dust are also common in interior construction and renovation work.

Silica and occupational safety

Silicic acid (silicon dioxide, SiO₂) is one of the most common compounds on earth and is the main component of sand, quartz and many rocks. It exists in two main forms: crystalline and amorphous. While both variants are chemically identical, they differ greatly in their structure, physical properties and industrial use.

Turning dust into data. Data into decisions

Continuous
protection

Dustlight monitors the environment in real time during each shift and provides precise measurements directly at the workplace. This allows you to identify risks immediately and keep dust exposure under control.

Immediate
warnings

If the exposure values rise above the limit values, Dustlight warns you immediately - so that you can act immediately and prevent critical exceedances.

Smart
Compliance

Automated data collection and clear trend analyses simplify documentation, reduce manual measurements and ensure that your evidence meets ESG and regulatory standards.

Meaningful
findings

Dustlight app transforms raw data into clear evaluations so you can analyze load patterns, optimize ventilation systems and make decisions based on facts.

Since dust exposure often occurs without visible dust clouds, real-time detection is crucial. Dustlight uses an optical measurement principle to continuously measure particulate matter directly in the breathing zone of workers and immediately provide visual and acoustic alerts when dust accumulation exceeds safety limits.

The mobile phone and web apps complement the device by visualizing dust levels over time, documenting exposure levels, and supporting data-based decisions to minimize risk and improve working conditions.
