Where To Find OSHA Regs On Sandblasting?

Greenbuggy

Curious where to find osha regulations & rules on sandblasting equipment & safety equipment on their website. When searching I only found articles that mentioned sandblasting as a side topic, nothing specific to sandblasting?

Call OSHA and ask. They will be very helpful.

There's pertinent stuff all through Title 29: 29 CFR 1910.244 (portable tools and equipment); 1910.1000 (air contaminants); 1910.134 (respiratory protection), etc. Then you can get into Title 30, about safe handling, labeling, and storage of toxic materials (30 CFR 56.20012, 56.16004, 57.20012, 77.208).
It can be a real struggle keeping up with all of that, but maybe there are fewer Americans dying of silicosis and its complications than there were twenty years ago.

There was a thread here that ended last year around this time. Had some good info at first . . .

There is at least one company out there that sells a CD for a safety plan. A written plan is probably required, so having something on paper should give you a foundation for all the other mandatory stuff: training, etc.
