Task steps, hazards and controls
Swipe or step through on mobile
| Step | Hazards | Controls |
|---|---|---|
| Assess the dust source and exposure | Silica, plaster and coating dust, lead or asbestos containing dust, occupant exposure | Identify the material, apply JSEA RM-15 for suspect material, assess duration and volume, select the control method before starting |
| Apply engineering controls | Airborne dust released into the property or outdoors | On-tool H-class extraction, wet methods, containment and sealed openings, extraction ventilation away from occupants and neighbours |
| Use RPE correctly | Ineffective RPE due to poor fit, facial hair or wrong filter | P2/P3 with a fit check each use, clean shaven, correct filters, RPE inspected and stored clean, replace filters per manufacturer |
| Clean down and monitor health | Residual dust exposure, secondary exposure of occupants, long-term health effects | HEPA vacuum only — never dry sweeping, wipe down surfaces, remove coveralls before leaving, report symptoms, health monitoring for regular exposure |
Step 1 of 4
Assess the dust source and exposure
Hazards
Silica, plaster and coating dust, lead or asbestos containing dust, occupant exposure
Critical controls

Critical controls
- Dust controlled at source — extraction or wet methods before RPE is relied on
- Work area sealed and occupants kept clear while dust is generated
- Fit-checked P2/P3 RPE worn by every exposed worker
