and /or skin inflammation). Some dusts and fumes
created by compaction work contain substances
known to cause respiratory disease, cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to
the naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to
determine if there is dust or fumes are the air.
To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes, do
all of the following:
Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk
assessment should include dust and fumes created
by the use of the machine and the potential for
disturbing existing dust.
Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory
protection as instructed by your employer and
as required by occupational health and safety
regulations. Ther espiratory protection must be
effective for the type of substance at issue (and
if applicable, approved by relevant governmental
authority).

to reduce dust and fume exposure at the work site
and to reduce the risks. Effective health and safety
programs, policies and procedures for protecting
workers and others against harmful exposure to dust
and fumes should be established and mplemented
based on advice from health and safety experts.
Consult with experts.
DANGER Exhaust gas hazard

engine contains carbon monoxide which is poi
-
sonous, and chemicals which cause cancer, birth
