ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR
CONSTRUCTION DUST
The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Regulations 1st October 2012 now also targets to reduce
the risks associated with silica, wood and gypsum dusts.
Construction workers are one of the at- risk groups within
this because of the dust that they breathe: silica dust is
not just a nuisance; it is a real risk to your lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts
in things like sand, sandstone and granite. It is also
commonly found in many construction materials such as
dust (also known as Respirable Crystalline Silica or RCS)
during many common tasks such as cutting, drilling and
silica can lead to the development of:
• Lung cancer
• Silicosis
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder / Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
the development of Asthma. The risk of lung disease is
linked to people who regularly breathe construction dust
over a period of time, not on the odd occasion.
