Toolbox Talk: Dust Masks
Dust masks are used in situations where airborne particulates (saw dusty, drywall dust, dirt, grain dust and insulation) are generated or are present in the work environment. Dust masks protect your lungs and airway from damage due to the inhalation of airborne particulate matter. Remember these guidelines:
- Dust masks may be worn even when a ventilation system is in place.
- Dust masks are not approved for asbestos exposure or any other airborne hazardous material.
- Always review material safety data sheets on the chemicals and materials you are working with. Many will not be filtered by a dust mask and the use of a respirator is required (i.e. silica)
- Change your dust mask frequently and whenever you note any discoloration from the accumulation of particulates.
- Beards can interfere with the proper fit of dust masks.
- Choose the right mask for your task (i.e. sweeping, sawing, grinding, or specific contaminant filtering).
Your safety managers are always available to answer questions and provide training on selecting the right PPE and tools for the job.
Go RED!
