Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm and respiratory illnesses. Some
examples of the chemicals include:
· Lead from lead based paints
· Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
· Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: Work in a
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Abrasive blasting produces harmful dust. Everyone in the blasting area
must wear a properly fitted and properly maintained NIOSH-approved
supplied-air respirator.
SILICOSIS AND OTHER DUST WARNINGS:
Breathing dust from silica sand may cause silicosis, a fatal lung disease.
Breathing dust during blasting operations may also cause asbestosis
and/or other serious or fatal diseases. A NIOSH-approved, well-maintained
air-supplied abrasive blasting respirator must be used by anyone blasting,
anyone handling or using media containing toxic substances or media with
more than point one percent free crystalline silica and anyone in the area of the
dust, Harmful dust can remain suspended in the air for long periods of time
after blasting has ceased, causing serious injury or death.
Before removing respirator, use an air monitoring instrument to determine
if atmosphere is safe to breathe. Contact local OHSA or NIOSH office to
determine the proper respirator for your particular application.
