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.

Hinowa has introduced a crawler mounted dust suppression system through the marriage of its Goldlift 14.70 tracked carrier to a WPL410 rotating water spray system. The Goldlift 14.70 is able to elevate the nozzle to a maximum height of 12 m (39.4 ft) to maximise the throw area. The WLP410 itself has a maximum throw distance of 30 m (98.5 ft), offers 320ยบ rotation and can cover up to 2,800 square metres (30,100 square feet). Recommended operating pressure is 10 Bar, at which pressure it uses 35 litres (7.7 gallons) of water per minute. Hinowa has also made this unit available on its TP1800 tracked forklift.
