FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage.
Prescription eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacement for proper eye protection.
The usage of a safety standard compliant face shield placed over proper safety

Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities may contain chemicals that are known to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities. These chemicals include:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according to how
often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use approved safety equipment,
such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
