The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a useful resource on controlling dust. In Chapter 3 of the OSHA handbook, it explains why dust should be controlled, the various forms of dust control systems that are available, and how to select the correct one, and how to design a water spray system to limit the spread of dust.
Some reasons why dust should be controlled are to reduce and prevent the chance of dust explosions and fires. Also the reduction of accidents is greater with better visibility of the workplace. Reducing dust will also decrease the wear and tear on equipment and minimize the need for maintenance. For employees, less dust will require less protective gear that is needed as well as reduce the possibility of foul odors, which can have a negative effect on productivity.

Techniques for removing dust from the air have varied over the years. During that time, methods have focused on a dust collection and suppression system. The difference between a dust collector and a dust suppression system is how the dust is initially treated. Dust collectors form a vacuum to capture the dust and remove it from the surrounding air. It is then transferred to a filter or bag for proper disposal. A dust suppression system does not attempt to remove the dust from the physical area. Instead it places it back to its source. Best of all, a dust suppression system is more affordable.
