Are you eligible for the $1,000 SafeWork NSW rebate?

SafeWork standards across Australia place increasing pressure on job sites to manage airborne dust, noise, and overall safety — and for good reason. Silica and wood dust are now recognised as serious health risks, with long-term exposure linked to respiratory illnesses, cancer, and chronic lung damage.

To remain compliant, tradies and contractors must take reasonable steps to control airborne hazards, which includes using:

M-Class dust extraction

Low-vibration, low-noise tools

Enclosed or filtered sanding setups

Don’t Show Up Without the 1230 M

The Mirka 1230 M Dust Extractor is fully M-Class certified, meeting the standard required for controlling fine dust particles — including hardwood, MDF, and silica-containing materials. It's designed for continuous job site use with:

Automatic filter cleaning to maintain suction and filtration efficiency
Quiet operation for reduced noise exposure
Auto-start with compatible sanders to reduce user error

When paired with Mirka’s dust-free sanding tools (like the DEROS or DEOS), the 1230 M offers a complete system that ticks the compliance box — reducing cleanup, improving worker health, and keeping your site inspectors happy.
