Read all general warning pertaining to blasting below!
Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm and respiratory illnesses. Some examples of the chemicals
include:
 Lead from lead based paints
 Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
 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 ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Abrasive blasting produces harmful dust. Everyone in the blasting area must
wear a properly fitted and properly maintained NIOSH-approved supplied-air
respirator.
SILICOSIS AND OTHER DUST WARNINGS:
Breathing dust from silica sand may cause silicosis, a fatal lung disease.
Breathing dust during blasting operations may also cause asbestosis and/or
other serious or fatal diseases. A NIOSH-approved, well-maintained air-supplied
abrasive blasting respirator must be used by anyone blasting, anyone handling or
using media containing toxic substances or media with more than point one
percent (.001) free crystalline silica and anyone in the area of the dust. Harmful
dust can remain suspended in the air for long periods of time after blasting has
ceased, causing serious injury or death.
Before removing respirator, use an air monitoring instrument to determine if
atmosphere is safe to breathe. Contact local OHSA or NIOSH office to determine
the proper respirator for your particular application.
