Warning:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,

- Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well ventilated area, and

designed to filter out microscopic particles.
To familiarize with the risks associated with a material, consult with your
employer, manufacturer/supplier and government agencies regarding the
hazards of the materials and their recommendations to protect yourself.
