Dangers of dust guide Many work activities can create dust, and exposure to any dust in excessive amounts can create respiratory problems. The hazards of dusts like silica and wood are well recognised, but there are many more substances that generate dusts which are hazardous to health. Exposure to all such dusts needs to be prevented or, where this is not reasonably practicable, adequately controlled. if you are aware of it, take care of it #safety #safetyfirst #safetyawareness #dangersofdust #
