EQUIPMENT/CLOTHING
Consult your supervisor for specific instructions on a job, and the personal safety equipment
required. For instance, you may need:
• Hard Hat
• Heavy Gloves

Do not wear loose clothing or any accessory – flopping cuffs, dangling neckties and
scarves, or jewelry – that can catch in moving parts.
DUST PRECAUTION
Some dust created by construction activities may cause silicosis or respiratory harm. Your
risk of exposure varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
risk, work in a well-ventilated area, use a dust control system, and wear approved personal
safety equipment such as a dust/particle respirator designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
