| Abstract |
This information sheet is one of a series prepared by HSE's Woodworking National Interest Group. Its purpose is to advise employers on the selection of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) for use with wood dust, both hardwood and softwood. All wood dust (including dust from composites like chipboards and fibre boards etc) is hazardous to health: it can affect the nose, the respiratory system and the skin. Contents: Introduction; Selection; Personal and work-related factors in selection of RPE; Training; Care of RPE; Reading list and references; Further information. |
