Renegade Dust Exposure – One Simple Technique assists in mitigating the exposure.
Numerous Manufacturing processes have a byproduct of dust. Under certain conditions renegade dust on horizontal objects as seen in the picture below can form a dust cloud resulting in huge loss of property and life.
Take a moment and view the 1-minute video on coffee creamer dust cloud and visualize that event happening inside the building of one of your manufacturing risks.
When we are in a manufacturing facility and recognize they have a dust exposure we show your insured this 1-minute video and then make the following recommendation.
First install bright orange or color contrasting depth markers on the horizonal area where renegade dust exposure is most common. The Color contrast marker should be the depth of a paper clip. Install a security camera over this area and when you can no longer see the contrasting color then have housekeeping vacuum and remove the renegade dust. Do not use compressed air to blow the dust off horizonal objects as this displaces the dust and does not mitigate the exposure.
Below is a picture of one of our risks that have this in place and it is an effective way to monitor renegade dust build up.
The Corporate One Middle Market Manufacturing Program has the field engineer start the inspection with the risk by showing this 1-minute video even if they do not have a dust exposure.
Then the engineer shares the reason for the visit is we do not want anything to interrupt your cash flow or your manufacturing process.
In most cases the visual from the video impacts the insured in such a way that they are more receptive to the rest of the Middle Market Manufacturing Program inspection process.
We are not asking you to replace any current vendor relationship you have in place, but we would like to ask that you allow us to be an approved vendor with your company and the opportunity to have your middle market manufacturing risks become a part of our program.
Please contact us and allow us to protect your profits by making your manufacturing risks more secure.
