This toolbox talk covers crystalline silica hazards found in construction dust from cutting, sawing, and grinding materials like concrete, bricks, and cement sheeting. It outlines key controls including appropriate PPE (respirators and safety glasses), good ventilation for indoor work, on-tool extraction and vacuums, and awareness of bystanders and take-home dust risks. The template prompts discussion, records new safety issues and actions, reminds teams to report incidents and near misses, and includes an attendance log for participants.
