SILICOSIS WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with
silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline
silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of
airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases,
including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities
have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause
cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions
mentioned above.

RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known
to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease,
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with
the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut
or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other authorities,for instance, have published
lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other
harmful effects.Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible.
In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of
the manufacturers or suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH,and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is
feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the materials being used.
