Cutting Hardwood or MDF
Fine wood dust causing irritation to eyes, lungs, skin.
Use a process or method of work that reduces the
generation of dust to a minimum e.g. using a plane
instead of a sander to shape the wood
Local exhaust ventilation should be provided at
areas of cutting to remove airborne dust. General
dilution ventilation should be provided as
necessary to keep airborne dust below the
applicable exposure limits and guidelines.
Maintain plant and equipment in good condition;
e.g. inspect dust extraction systems regularly to
ensure they are working efficiently and check for
holes and leakages in duct work. The need for
ventilation systems should be evaluated by a
professional industrial hygienist, while the design of
specific ventilation systems should be conducted
by a professional engineer.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Long sleeved
shirts and trousers are recommended to prevent
skin irritation. Wash work clothes regularly and
separately from other clothes. Wear comfortable
work gloves (AS2161 or NZS5812) to avoid hand
cuts when handling panels.
For long term cutting set up a dedicated cutting
room with attention paid to dust extraction systems.
Have a warning ‘DO NOT ENTER’ sign posted at
the cutting room door and induct workers not to
enter that room without a permit and then only with
the correct PPE i.e. respirator, eye and hearing
protection.
