SERVICE MAINTENANCE
Prior to doing any maintenance or opening the
dust collector, the employer must meet required
OSHA standards, including but not limited to
29CFR 1910 for:
Appropriate Respirator
Protective Clothing
Toxic and Hazardous Substances
Fall Protection
Lockout and Tagout
All dust is hazardous to breath;
toxicity and
health risk vary with type of dust generated by
blasting. Prolonged exposure to any dust can
result in serious lung disease and death. Short-
term exposure to toxic materials, such as lead
dust or dust from other heavy metals and
corrosives, can cause serious injury or death.
Identify all material that is being removed by
blasting and obtain a safety data sheet (SDS)
for the blast media. Waste dust in the collector
can cause serious injury or death through
inhalation, absorption, or ingestion. The
employer shall meet all OSHA requirements,
including but not limited to those for confined
space, combustible dust, fall protection, hazard
communication, and lockout and tagout
procedure for electrical and pneumatic supply.
