Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.

Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter- rupter (GFCI) should also be imple- mented – it prevents sustained elec- trical shock.

14.Some dust created by power sand- ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities,

contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause can- cer, birth defects or other repro- ductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead-based paints

Crystalline silica from bricks and ce- ment or other masonry products

Arsenic and chromium from chemi- cally treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures var- ies, 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.)
