- 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.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.
