Safety
AIRBORNE POLLUTANTS
The related safety label on the product and the text on the label are shown below.
"DUST HAZARD
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury.
Always wear approved respirator."
Airborne pollutants are microscopic particles, which will damage your health, when
inhaled. Aiborne pollutants on construction sites can be e.g. silica dust, oil fumes or
diesel exhaust particles, visible or invisible. Especially in demolition sites, there
may be other dangerous substances, such as e.g. asbestos or lead paints or other
chemical substances.
The effect of airborne pollutants may be immediate if the substance is poisonous.
The main danger with airborne pollutants comes from long term exposure, where
particles are inhaled but not removed from the lungs. The disease is called e.g.
silicosis, asbestosis or other and will result in death or serious injury.
To protect yourself from airborne pollutants, always keep excavator doors and
windows closed during operation. Excavators with pressurized cabins should be
utilized in grapple operation. Proper maintenance of fresh air filters of the excavator
is essential. Where pressurized cabins are not available, proper respirators must be
utilized.
Stop working, when bystanders are in the area of airborne pollutants and make sure
they have proper respirators. Respirators are as important for bystanders as hard
hats.Respirators for both operator and bystanders must be approved by the
respirator manufacturer for the application in question. It is essential that the
respirators protect from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and which may
cause other serious lung diseases. You should not use the equipment until you are
sure the respirators are working properly. This means the respirators must be
checked to make sure that it is clean, that its filter has been changed, and to
otherwise make sure the respirator will protect in the way it is meant to.
