DANGER! Do not use sand or silicate particulate
dust as an abrasive. Sand or silica particulate
dust can result in the lethal lung disease known
as silicosis, when inhaled over a period of time
as short as several weeks or as long as 5 to 10
years. Silicosis causes shortness of breath,
cough, fever and bluish skin (cyanosis). Seek
immediate medical attention if these symptoms
appear. Silicosis can kill you if untreated.
The abrasive blasting process emits abrasive media under pressure that
breaks apart upon impact. The resulting dust is a combination of the
abrasive media and the removed material. Both the media and
the material being removed may have toxic components, such as lead
in paint.
1.
Check the abrasive media's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for
information on the health risks and preventative measures you can
implement to minimize those risks.
2.
Use only abrasives specifically intended for blasting. Never use sand
or silicates.
3.
Avoid exposure to hazardous dust created during the blasting
process. Options include ventilation systems to remove or divert the
dust, containment methods such as cabinets or blast-cleaning
machines or working outside. Always check municipal by-laws
regarding abrasive blasting outdoors. Test the air quality to ensure
that exposure is reduced by the chosen option.
4.
Never point the abrasive blasting gun at people or animals. Never
point the tool towards yourself. The abrasive media is under pressure
and can cause a physical injury.
5.
Test the tool with a low media flow rate to ensure the media does not
ricochet and injure yourself or a bystander.
