Some examples of thesechemicals are:• lead from lead-based paints,• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposureto these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dustmasks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
