SAFETY RULES
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause can-
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures vary, 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. Always wear OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting
