Hazards caused by dust and vapours
■
The dusts and vapours produced by using the machines for screw
connections can be hazardous to health (e.g. cause cancer, birth
defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); 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 the dust caused by using the
machine and any existing dust that may be raised at the same
time.
■
The compressed air tool is to be operated and maintained in
accordance with the recommendations contained in this manual
to keep the release of dust and vapours to a minimum.
■
The exhaust air should be extracted so that the minimum amount
of dust is raised in an already dusty environment.
■
If dusts or vapours are created, the main priority must be to control
these at the site of their release.
■
All components of the compressed air tool or accessories in-
tended for collecting, extracting or suppressing airborne dust or
vapours or should be used and serviced properly in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
■
Consumables/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 employer
or as required by health and safety regulations.
■
Working with certain materials can lead to emissions of dust and
vapours that are potentially explosive.
