WARNING Processing of concrete and
stone by methods such as cutting, grinding
or drilling, especially during dry operation,
generates dust that comes from the material
being processed, which frequently contains
silica. Silica is a basic component of sand,
quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous
other minerals and rocks. Exposure to
excessive amount of such dust can cause:
Respiratory disease (affecting your ability to
breathe), including chronic bronchitis,
silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from
exposure to silica. These diseases may be
fatal;
Skin irritation and rash.
Cancer according to NTP* and IARC* */
National Toxicology Program, International
Agency for Research on Cancer.
Take precautionary steps:
Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with
dust, mist and fumes.
Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear
appropriate respiratory protection such as
dust masks designed to filter out
microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR
Part 1926.1153)
To minimize dust emissions, use water to
bind the dust, when feasible. If dry operation
is necessary, use an appropriate dust
extractor.
It is the owner's/employer's responsibility that the
operator has sufficient knowledge about how to use the
product safely. Supervisors and operators must have
