Video In the US we have a law that requires the use of a HEPA vac when cleaning up lead. This has only been required since last year and contractors have to be licensed. | ||

The best hazardous vacuum cleaners I have ever seen come from Nilfisk. in the 80's that what all the hospitals used to use here. Our version of CSI still use them. And they are widely used for crime seen cleanups.
Funny thing is Nilfisk bought the commercial divesion from Electrolux including this machine. | ||

The mask is required for lead pick up and emptying, CitroenBX! That is the whole point of the video , not just showing the HEPA in that particular vacuum. As Tolivac easily explains, the danger of removing particularly hazardous dust like that and of other types such as asbestos has to be done in a controlled environment.
So in actual fact, the video isn't really stupid at all. What it also illustrates is the possible way of how some owners of Dyson would go about to empty their vacuums. Not quite as elaborate with the professional dust masks with vents, but even a paper mask would stop the ingesting of dust when it naturally (and thanks to gravity) flies up. As for vacuuming a wall, there's not much different to doing it with a crevice tool along ceiling lines to get rid of cobwebs or the stuff left behind paintings or wall hangings if not cleaned frequently. | ||

HEPA Video I'm a retired male nurse who specialized in hospice and end of life care. As I've dealt with all types of infectious diseases, I watched this video with great interest, and found it not only stupid, but badly done! The dialogue was extremely childish, we are adults here, talk to us like adults! I also think the entire procedure was over-kill, This is NOT an operating room! And NOBODY wipes down an entire vacuum cleaner each time they change the bag. If done right, the HEPA filter and disposable bag should get ALL hazardous material. As I say, it was overkill, the narrator was overly dramatic in the delivery, and the text was written for a child's mentality. Result - a very stupid video.

In all my years as a general care assistant, we never had to deal with hazardous bio material. I hope for your sake, Alex being a retired nurse that you never came into contact with lead or any other damaging material that becomes airborne. In all your years of experience, you never wiped down a bin that was in a patient's room? We constantly had to - maybe the laws in the UK are different - but if there is any visible dirt and bacteria in a room that is present - every surface, every vessel etc has to be wiped down.
Wiping a vacuum in such an environment actually makes sense - after all - the vacuum cleaner ain't going to suck up all the dirt that collects on the body itself. | ||

This is a Nilfisk GSD. I have a Ga 70 and GS80 aswell ) I got this week. When I was a kid these were used everywhere. Used in every office and hospital.
My Dad took me to work one day to show me all of them they used in his Office, He specially organised with the Housekeeper to show me the machines, There must have been 40 or 50 to clean the 22 floor building. These were also the first vacuum I saw with a Hepa filter, The optional hepa filter was huge and fitted in place of the air grid on the machine and meant the machine had to have a larger handle. see link CLICK HERE TO GO TO gsheen's LINK
