Use this dust toolbox talk to brief crews on the dangers of airborne particles on site. It explains what dust is, highlights the HSE Big 3 hazards—silica from cutting concrete and stone, wood dust from sanding and MDF, and asbestos—and why fine particles under 5 microns are the most harmful. The guide references key UK regulations including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, COSHH 2002, and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. It covers practical controls and PPE, including using P3-rated respirators and planning for face fit testing, to reduce exposure during dusty tasks.
