| Abstract |
This information sheet contains advice for small and medium-sized potteries on the risks from dust containing respirable crystalline silica (ie from clay and glazes) and the precautions necessary to minimise exposure. The guidance will also be of use to those who work in the craft and educational sectors, even though exposure levels in these premises are likely to be lower. It describes good methods of working and will be useful to managers, supervisors, safety representatives, employees, teachers, craft potters and students. Contents: Introduction; Silica dust exposure and risk; Silica dust control; Control measures for reducing exposure; Legal requirements; References; Further reading; Further information. |
