limits and use required PPE to prevent the possibility of harmful exposure.
General Product Information and Ventilation Requirements: Manufactured stone
veneer contains crystalline silica and mineral dust. During dry cutting, sawing, grinding, sanding,
breaking, or drilling this product, dust may become airborne. To avoid overexposure, follow all
applicable exposure limits whenever dust is generated. General dilution alone or in combination
with local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to minimize and maintain exposures below
applicable occupational exposure limits.
Control Measures: Levels of respirable dust should be monitored regularly. Levels found
to be in excess of applicable exposure limits should be reduced through the use of practical
engineering controls. Respirators must be worn when such controls are not practical or do not
completely control dust generation.
Respiratory Protection: To control exposures when ventilation or other controls are
inadequate,aproperlyttedNIOSHorMSHAapprovedparticulatelterrespiratorshould
be used. All respiratory protection programs should meet the requirements of the OSHA
respiratoryprotectionstandard(29CFR1910.134).Respirator/lterselectionshouldbe
based on ANSI standard Z88.2.
Eye/Facial Protection: While handling the product in any manner that could generate
particulate matter, wear safety glasses with side shields. When excessive visible amounts of dust
are present or expected, dust goggles should be worn (ANSI Z87.1) Contact lenses are not
