OSHA Stationary Masonry Saws Fact Sheet

CONTROL OF SILICA DUST IN CONSTRUCTION

Using a stationary masonry saw to cut bricks, concrete blocks, pavers, or other silica-containing materials can generate respirable crystalline silica dust. When inhaled over time, the small particles of silica can irreversibly damage the lungs. This fact sheet describes dust controls that can be used to minimize the amount of airborne dust when using stationary masonry saws as listed in Table 1 of the Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard for Construction, 29 CFR 1926.1153.
