The hazards experienced in the sealant, waterproofing, and
restoration industry are common to the construction
industry in general. These include health hazards; such as asphalt fumes, lead,
silica, and solvents; as well as safety hazards, such as
falls from elevation, awkward and heavy lifting, flammables, and power tools. An important step in addressing these hazards is to conduct task-specific hazard analyses
to identify what hazards to expect and to then plan for their control.
