#1: positive airflow.  keep that air a-coming from the vents in your
telecine so that dust
goes _out_ the doors instead of in.

#2: PTRs.  if you aren't familiar with them talk to a supplier. 
They are the single most effective tool in dust control I've ever
come across.  Won some kind of award I think.

#3: cleanliness, and good negative handling.

#4 (and this is somewhat deprecated) sticky mats outside the entry
doors to the machine room.
