Water can keep silica dust out of the air – and out of your lungs. Use tools with water attachments to control dust at the source. Water can also keep dust down during activities like sweeping & demolition.

When other controls don’t work well enough and your work creates more silica dust than OSHA allows, your employer is required to have a full, written respiratory protection program. Respirators can protect your lungs from dangerous dust.

Please Note: Abrasive blasting and sandblasting cause extreme exposure. You must use a special Type CE respirator.
