Sandblasting Safety Issues
n Respiratory
Long term exposure to silica dust can lead to a chronic
respiratory illness known as silicosis.
Use of a particulate respiratory filter rated P100 or
equivalent is recommended
High quality dust filtration from the sandblasting cabinet is
recommended
n Eye protection
Sandblasting inside a cabinet prevents abrasive particles
from ricocheting into your eyes. When blasting outside of a
cabinet, eye protection in the form of safety glasses or face
shield should be worn.
