Abrasive blasting produces dust contaminated with toxic substances from the abrasive used, the
coating being removed, and the object being blasted. All blast operators and other personnel
involved in the blast operation or in the vicinity of the blast operation should wear protective
clothing. The protective clothing should be disposable or washable work clothes that should be
removed at the worksite so that contaminated dust is not transferred into automobiles or homes.
See Section 3.10 and refer to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.94 and 1910.132.

stand-by watch person may be necessary to protect against injury to personnel.
