Water Spray Control of Hazardous Dust When Breaking Concrete with a . . . Water Spray Control of Hazardous Dust When Breaking Concrete with a Jackhammer Summary Construction workers are exposed to hazardous dust when using jackhammers to break concrete pave-ment NIOSH found that exposures could be re-duced by using a water-spray attachment
Vibration Syndrome (83-110) | NIOSH | CDC Current Intelligence Bulletin 38 In light of a recently completed, comprehensive study, conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the Institute concludes that vibrating hand tools can cause vibration syndrome, a condition also known as vibration white finger and as Raynaud’s phenomenon of occupational origin Vibration syndrome has adverse circulatory
About Occupational Hearing Loss | Noise | CDC Occupational hearing loss is permanent but preventable Exposure to loud noise or certain chemicals while at work can damage your hearing Hearing loss is associated with tinnitus (ringing in the ears), heart problems, cognitive decline, and poor mental health

Current Intelligence Bulletin 32: Arsine (Arsenic Hydride) Poisoning in . . . The purpose of this bulletin is to recommend that appropriate work practices be implemented to reduce the risk of worker exposure to arsine (AsH3) gas, There is a high potential for the generation of arsine gas when inorganic arsenic is exposed to nascent (freshly formed) hydrogen This recommendation is based on several reports of worker exposure to arsine resulting in severe toxic effects or
Preventing Noise-Induced Hearing Loss | CDC Hearing loss can result from damage to structures and or nerve fibers in the inner ear that respond to sound This type of hearing loss, termed “noise-induced hearing loss,” is usually caused by exposure to excessively loud sounds and cannot be medically or surgically corrected Noise-induced hearing loss can result from a one-time exposure to a very loud sound, blast, or impulse, or from
Simple Solutions for Surface Mine Workers Foreword This booklet, Simple Solutions for Surface Mine Workers, is designed to provide examples of the types of solutions and task design ideas that you can use to reduce exposure to risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders and slips, trips, and falls Although the ideas in this booklet are not an exhaustive list, they can be used as a foundation for developing similar types of solutions
Simple Solutions for Dusty Environments Foreword This booklet, Simple Solutions for Dusty Environments at Metal Nonmetal Mines, is designed to provide examples of the types of solutions that you can use to reduce exposure to dust at surface mines and facilities Practical controls are presented that not only lower dust exposures but also reduce the risks for both musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and traumatic injuries (e g , slips
WORKPLACE - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Many tasks in construction may gen-erate dust containing crystalline sili-ca: grinding or cutting concrete, tuck-pointing masonry, using a jackhammer to break concrete, or using mobile ex-cavation equipment (e g , drills, load-ers, graders, dozers, and trucks) Op-erator cabs used in the construction industry are meant to protect the equipment operator from excessive dust and noise When the
WORKPLACE SOLUTIONS - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Workers in the construction industry may breathe dust that contains silica during various tasks including cutting brick and block, tuckpointing ma-sonry, using a jackhammer to break concrete or rock, or grinding con-crete A NIOSH [2001] study found that workers grinding concrete to smooth poured concrete surfaces af-ter forms are stripped were exposed from 35 to 55 times the NIOSH rec
