Breathe Cleaner Air On The Job With Hilti’s AIC 1000 Air Cleaner
Long-term exposure to dust can cause health problems, but it’s also hard to avoid on the jobsite. Respirators and other PPE do play a part in making a safer work environment, but they can only do so much. To eliminate dust at the source, you need something that will take it right out of the air, and that’s exactly what the Hilti Air Cleaner aims to do. The question is, how else does it benefit workers on the jobsite?
