Hazards caused by dust and vapours
■
The dust and vapours produced by using the riv-
et gun can be hazardous to health (e .g . cause
cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermati-
tis); it is essential to carry out a risk assessment
in respect of these risks and to implement corre-
sponding regulatory mechanisms .
■
The risk assessment should include all dust
caused by the use of the machine and the ex-
isting dust that may be kicked up at the same
time .
■
The rivet gun is to be operated and maintained
in accordance with the recommendations con-
tained in this manual to keep the release of dust
and vapours to a minimum .
■
The exhaust air should be routed so that the
raising of dust in
already dusty environments is kept to a mini-
mum .
■
If dusts or vapours are created, the main prior-
ity must be to control these at the site of their
release .
■
All inserts or accessories of the machine intend-
ed for collecting,
extracting or suppressing airborne dust or va-
pours or should be used and serviced in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instructions .
■
Consumables/machine tools should be select-
ed, maintained and replaced in accordance
with the recommendations in this guide in order
to avoid unnecessary intensification of dust or
vapour production .
■
Use breathing equipment as per the instructions
provided by your employer or as required by
health and safety regulations .
