ABRASIVE BLASTING. AN INDSUTRIAL OCCUPATION WITH A BROAD RANGE OF HAZARDS
Article discussing the occupational hazards which are part of the abrasive blasting process. Both the abrasives and surfaces abraded may emit a broad range of dangerous substances. For small industrial applications, the abrasives and parts can be placed inside a sealed cabinet but, for large outdoor construction operations, controlling these hazards becomes a much more difficult challenge. The article covers the following topics: protective clothing; toxic hazards; respirators; and NIOSH protection factors for respirators.
