1. Prohibit silica sand (or other substances
containing more than 1% crystalline silica)
as an abrasive blasting material and
substitute less hazardous materials.
2. Conduct air monitoring to measure worker exposures.
3. Use containment methods such as blast-cleaning
machines and cabinets to control the hazard
and protect adjacent workers from exposure.
4. Practice good personal hygiene to avoid
unnecessary exposure to silica dust.
5. Wear washable or disposable protective
clothes at the work site. Shower and change
into clean clothes before leaving the work site
to prevent contamination of cars, homes and
other work areas. Avoid skin exposure.
6. Always wear a NIOSH approved respirator and
safety goggles. Ventilate the work area properly.
7. Provide periodic medical examinations for all
workers who may be exposed to crystalline silica.
8. Post signs to warn workers about the hazard and to
inform them about required protective equipment.
9. Provide workers with training that includes
information about health effects, work practices
and protective equipment for crystalline silica.
10. Report all cases of silicosis to State health
departments and to OSHA or the Mine Safety
and Health Administration (MSHA).

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term
exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and
shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not being caused or
worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who
have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past
hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes,
or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such
as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain
tool as explained in this manual.
If abnormal vibration occurs, stop immediately.
