Hazards caused by dust and vapours

■ The dust and vapours produced by using sanders and polishers
can be hazardous to health (e .g . cause cancer, birth defects,
asthma and/or dermatitis); it is essential to carry out a risk assess-
ment in respect of these risks and to implement corresponding
regulatory mechanisms .
■ The risk assessment should include all dust caused by the use of
the machine and the existing dust that may be kicked up at the
same time .
■ The sander or polisher is to be operated and maintained in ac-
cordance with the recommendations contained 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 minimum .
■ If dusts or vapours are created, the main priority must be to con-
trol these at the site of their release .
■ All inserts or accessories of the machine intended for collecting,
extracting or suppressing airborne dust or vapours or should be
used and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions .
■ Consumables/machine tools should be selected, maintained and
replaced in accordance with the recommendations in this guide
in order to avoid unnecessary intensification of dust or vapour
production .
■ Use a dust mask as per the instructions provided by your employ-
er or as required by health and safety regulations .
