If your site is likely to generate dust – common on construction and waste sites – you may need a Dust Management Plan (DMP) as part of a planning or environmental permit application. A DMP sets out how you’ll identify, prevent and control dust emissions, and it needs to be embedded into your site’s wider Environmental Management Plan rather than sit as a standalone document.
Our consultants assess your site, identify your dust sources, and build a plan that meets what regulators expect to see.
Key benefits of a Dust Management Plan
- Ensures regulatory compliance
- Minimises the generation and spread of dust
- Reduces potential environmental and human health impacts from a site’s dust emissions
What to expect
A comprehensive DMP identifies potential sources of dust, assesses the associated risks, and details specific measures to prevent and control emissions – both operational practices, such as adjusting work processes, and engineering controls, such as barriers or water sprays.
It also includes monitoring protocols to check dust levels stay within acceptable limits, and a framework for ongoing review so control measures can be adjusted as site conditions, technology or working practices change.
