WARNING:
Some dust, fumes and gases
created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, welding and other construction activities
contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
•
lead from lead based paint
•
crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber
Your risk of exposure 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 dust masks that are
specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles. For more information go to
