Section 8 – Individual protection measures

Before starting any grinding or sanding operation, a risk assessment is recommended to determine the appropriate level of personal protection. Depending on the specific application and the material being ground, the following individual protection measures can be required:

• Respiratory protection: Use suitable respiratory protective equipment, especially where dust is generated. The type of respirator depends on the application and the workpiece material.
• Hand protection: Wear protective gloves to reduce mechanical risks and contact with dust. Glove type depends on the specific operation.
• Eye and face protection: Wear protective goggles or a face shield to protect against particles and dust produced during grinding or sanding.
• Hearing protection: Use appropriate hearing protection where sanding equipment generates elevated noise levels.
• Body protection: Use protective clothing to prevent dust accumulation on personal garments and to minimise skin contact with dust.

Note: Hazardous dust originating from the workpiece material may be generated during grinding or sanding. Applicable national regulations for dust exposure limits must be observed.
