Prevent exposure and breathing of harmful dust
and particles created by power tool use.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- - lead from lead based paints,
- - crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
- - 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 well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
