How to reduce contamination levels in factories

The biggest carrier of contaminated powdered substances i.e. lead, aluminium oxide,  into a factory or workshop is with shoes. 

Here are some points to reduce this problem:

• Use entrance mats the longer the better at every entrance to the factory.
• Control areas e.g. "No go for safety boots"
• If possible or practical get staff to wear flat soles shoes.
• Introduce an intercom system in "no go areas" so staff wearing dirty footware can communicate with management.
• Use the latest technology, vacuum entrance mats, to vacuum clean the soles of shoes and stop the dirt from entering the building.
• Maintain a regular cleaning schedule with use of specialist cleaning companies.
