WARNING! Abrasive blasting with media 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
understand the ten recommended measures below to reduce crystalline silica exposure in the workplace and prevent silicosisand silicosis related injuries and deaths.
The following ten measures are recommended to reduce crystalline silica exposures in the workplace and prevent silicosis and silicosis related injuries and deaths:
1.Prohibit silica sand (or other substances containing more than 1% crystalline silica) as an abrasive blasting material and substitute less hazardous
materials.
2.Conduct air monitoring to measure worker exposures.
3.Use containment methods such as
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.
