Mining safety discussions often focus on the coalface, yet some of the most persistent respiratory risks occur elsewhere on site.

Maintenance crews working on conveyors, crushers, screens and processing equipment are routinely exposed to airborne dust during cleaning, shutdowns and repair activities.

For safety managers, this presents a clear challenge: how to provide effective respiratory protection that workers will consistently wear while performing physically demanding, mobile tasks.

This is where CleanSpace’s CST ULTRA delivers a practical and compliant solution.

Designed for the Reality of Maintenance Work

Maintenance activities involve constant movement, climbing access platforms, reaching into the plant, manoeuvring around fixed equipment and operating tools in proximity to dust sources.

Tasks such as cleaning and servicing plant equipment frequently disturb accumulated material, creating airborne hazards that place workers at risk of inhalation exposure.

From a safety management perspective, respiratory protection must balance protection, comfort and usability.

Equipment that is heavy, restrictive or difficult to manage can negatively impact worker compliance, particularly during long shifts or intermittent-use tasks.

CST ULTRA is engineered to address these challenges directly, supporting safe work practices without compromising productivity or mobility.

Supporting Safer Maintenance Operations

Maintenance crews play a critical role in keeping mining operations safe and productive.

Ensuring they are equipped with respiratory protection that aligns with the realities of their work is essential to reducing exposure risks and supporting compliance with site safety systems.

By implementing CST ULTRA, safety managers can provide a respiratory protection solution that supports mobility, comfort and consistent use, helping protect the workers who maintain vital equipment and keep operations running safely.
