PPT-SM-AB 2017
Abrasive blasting uses compressed air or water to direct a high speed stream of an abrasive material to clean an object or surface, remove burrs, apply a texture, or prepare a surface for paint or another type of coating.

• Silica sand• Coal slag• Glass• Steel shot• Specular hematite
Commonly used abrasive
materials include:

•Dry ice•Sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda)•Ground walnut shells•High pressure water
Alternative blasting materials include:

PPT-SM-AB 2017
Abrasive blasting operations can create high levels of dust and noise.
5
Abrasive material and the surface being blasted may contain toxic materials that are hazardous to workers, such as lead paint and silica.
PPT-SM-AB 2017 6
Companies should provide workers with training on blasting health and safety hazards, how to use controls, personal hygiene practices, safe work practices, and personal protective equipment (PPE) and respirator use.
PPT-SM-AB 2017
Before beginning work, companies should identify the hazards and assign a knowledgeable person trained to recognize hazards who has the authority to quickly take corrective action to eliminate them.
7
PPT-SM-AB 2017
Using engineering and administrative controls, PPE, including respiratory protection, and training can protect workers involved in abrasive blasting activities.
8
PPT-SM-AB 2017
Engineering controls include substitution,
isolation, and ventilation:
These are the main ways to prevent or reduce worker exposure to airborne hazards during abrasive blasting operations
9
PPT-SM-AB 2017
Examples of engineering controls include:•Using a less toxic abrasive blasting material•Using barriers and curtain walls to isolate
other workers from the blasting operation•Keeping coworkers away from the blaster•Using exhaust ventilation systems in
containment structures to capture dust
10
PPT-SM-AB 2017 11
Administrative controls include:• Using good personal hygiene practices• Performing routine cleanup using wet methods or
HEPA-filtered vacuuming to reduce dust accumulation
• Scheduling blasting when the least number of workers are at the site
• Avoiding blasting in windy conditions to prevent the spread of hazardous materials
PPT-SM-AB 2017
Good personal hygiene practices include not eating, drinking, or using tobacco products in blasting areas.
Wash your hands and face routinely and before you eat, drink, or use tobacco products. Take a shower at the end of your shift, and keep contaminated clothing and equipment out of the clean change area.
12
PPT-SM-AB 2017
Respiratory protection must be used when engineering and administrative controls cannot keep worker exposure below OSHA’s permissible exposure limits.
An abrasive-blasting respirator must cover a worker’s head, neck, and shoulders to protect them from rebounding abrasives.
13
PPT-SM-AB 2017 14
Workers must only use NIOSH-approved respirators to provide protection from dusts produced during abrasive blasting operations: • Type CE NIOSH-certified blasting airline respirator with
a positive-pressure blasting helmet
PPT-SM-AB 2017 15
Workers involved in cleanup and other related activities may also need to wear respiratory protection.
Other PPE includes hearing protection, eye and face protection, helmets, leather gloves that protect the hands and forearms, aprons or coveralls, and safety shoes or boots.
PPT-SM-AB 2017 16
Abrasive blasting creates high levels of noise that can cause substantial hearing loss:
• Always wear hearing protection
PPT-SM-AB 2017 17
Abrasive blasting can create many hazards that are harmful to workers, including high levels of dust and noise. Be aware of the hazards associated with abrasive blasting, and always wear the proper PPE.
