NIOSH Hazard Controls:
The National Institute for Occupational safety and Health
(NIOSH) has published a series of seven Hazard Controls fact sheets concerning wood dust control techniques. NIOSH is the federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for preventing work-related illness and injuries. Hazard Controls are based on research studies that show reduced worker exposure to hazardous agents or activities. Copies of the Hazard Controls fact sheets and additional information about hazard control can be obtained by calling NIOSH at 1-800-35-NIOSH or visiting NIOSH’s website at www.cdc.gov/niosh/publistd.html. The following is a list of NIOSH’s Hazard Controls:
Control of Wood Dust from Horizontal Belt Sanders, DHHS
(NIOSH) Publication No. 96-121.
Control of Wood Dust from Shapers, DHHS
(NIOSH) Publication No. 96-122.
