Silica dust in a pottery studio

Dry clay, glaze and waste can create fine dust. Reduce generation with wet methods, local exhaust and housekeeping that avoids dry sweeping.

Procedure

1. Dry clay, glaze and waste can create fine dust. Reduce generation with wet methods, local exhaust and housekeeping that avoids dry sweeping.
2. Do not use compressed air for cleanup. Vacuums must be suitable for the dust and used according to instructions and local rules.
3. The service does not select respiratory protection for a specific workplace. Professional studios need risk assessment, training and legal compliance.
