When inhaled over time, the small particles of silica can irreversibly damage the lungs. This fact sheet describes dust controls that can be used to minimize the amount of airborne dust when using stationary masonry saws as listed in Table 1 of the Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard for Construction, 29 CFR Wet Cutting When using a stationary masonry saw, wet cutting with an integrated water delivery system that continuously feeds water to the blade is an effective way to reduce exposure to silica dust. Many stationary masonry saws come equipped with a water basin that holds several gallons of water. A pump recirculates the water through a nozzle that directs a continuous stream onto the blade where it wets the material being cut and reduces the amount of dust generated. For the Complete Fact Sheet go to: OSHA Fact Sheet 29 CFR
