drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some example of these chemicals are:

●

lead from lead-based paints

●

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

●

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 exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, always wear
MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using
such tools.
