In 7 years I only had one problem, some dust got under one lense right before I left at the end of the week. I decided to wait until I got to a clean bathroom to change it out, which was a mistake.
I just leave the same pair in the whole week. At home this would cause me problems, but for some reason out there it doesn't bother me. I do wear goggles most of the time during the day, but nothing heavy duty. Anything to keep the fast moving dust from hitting your eyeball directly is fine.
1) Do not rub your eyes! You'll just grind the dust in. Let your eyes clean themselves, if they don't do so quickly remove the contact and clean or replace it.
2) Before putting contacts in, wash your hands as best as you're able and go inside a tent or vehicle so you don't get dust blown on them.
3) Bring plenty of spares, and make sure you always have one more backup for the drive home.
