• Description:
  "This booklet is designed to provide examples of the types of solutions that you can use to reduce exposure to dust at surface mines and facilities. Practical controls are presented that not only lower dust exposures but also reduce the risks for both musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and traumatic injuries (e.g., slips, trips, and falls). This booklet provides information based on experience gained within the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and highlights solutions that are relatively low in cost and easy to implement." - NIOSHTIC-2
