3.10 Dust emission
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and
fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease,
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause
cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.
• If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the
composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer,
the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other
sources on hazardous materials and make certain to comply with all product warnings and instructions
for the safe and effective use of the material being cut.
• Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and
follow the recommendations of the manufacturer/supplier, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade
associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible.
• When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated through engineering
controls such as vacuum and/or water mist, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a
respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being cut.
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete and other materials with silica in their composition may give
off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite
and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline
silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some
other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer.
• When cutting such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions mentioned above.
