construction activities may contain
chemicals that are known to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities.
These chemicals include:

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treate lumber
The level of risk from exposure to these
chemicals varies, according to how often this
type of work is performed. In order to
reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in
a well-ventilated area, and use approved
safety equipment, such as a dust mask that
is specifi cally designed to fi lter out
microscopic particles.
