WARNING! Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area, and
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
