Dust protection

You should protect yourself against dust when using a bristle blaster. Even though it produces less dust than traditional blasting methods, fine particles can still become airborne. Here’s how to stay safe:

Protective Measures:

1. Wear a Dust Mask or Respirator – Use an N95 mask or a P100 respirator if working in a high-dust environment.
2. Use Safety Goggles – Protect your eyes from dust and debris with sealed safety goggles.
3. Wear Gloves & Long Sleeves – Prevent direct contact with rust, paint, or contaminants being removed.
4. Ensure Proper Ventilation – Work in a well-ventilated area or use a dust extraction system.
5. Use a Vacuum System – Some work environments may allow for dust extraction attachments to minimize airborne particles.
6. Clean Work Area Regularly – Wipe down surfaces and use a HEPA-filter vacuum to prevent dust buildup.

Taking these precautions will help protect your lungs, eyes, and skin while ensuring a safer workspace.
