Workshop Dust Guide helps home woodworkers and small workshops understand extraction, connectors, air filtration and respiratory protective equipment. Our tools organise information; they do not certify installations or replace a competent assessment.

How we put a guide together

Health and workplace safety guidance is sourced to HSE. Product specifications come from manufacturers, with a checked date and a link to the source. We distinguish airflow measurement conditions and leave unknown figures blank. We haven't tested the products.

We update pages when source information changes. Please send corrections, including the source and exact model, to [email protected].

Funding and ownership

Our scope is wood dust. Laser and resin fumes require different controls and specialist guidance.
