Warning: Abrasive blasting with sand containing crystalline silica can cause serious or
fatal respiratory disease. Exposure to crystalline silica may cause silicosis (a serious
lung disease), cancer and death. Exposure to aluminum oxide (a dust generated from
material removing processes) can result in eye, skin and breathing irritation. Always
use a NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) approved respira-
tor and safety goggles. Avoid skin exposure. Proper ventilation in the work area is
required. Read and understand the 10 recommended measures below to reduce crys-
talline silica exposures in the workplace and prevent silicosis and silicosis related
deaths.

sures in the workplace and prevent silicosis and silicosis-related deaths:
1.
Prohibit silica sand (or other substances containing more than 1% crystalline
cilica)
as an abrasive blasting material and substitute less hazardous materials.

2.
Conduct air monitoring to measure worker exposures.
3.
Use containment methods such as blast-cleaning machines and cabinets to
control the hazard and protect adjacent workers from exposure.
control the hazard and protect adjacent workers from exposure.
4.
Practice good personal hygiene to avoid unnecessary exposure to silica dust.
5.
Wear washable or disposable protective clothes at the worksite. Shower and
change into clean clothes before leaving the worksite to prevent contamination of
cars, homes and other work areas.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contain chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. some examples of these chemicals are:
A) Lead from lead-based paints;
B) Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products;
C) 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. (California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq. )
