The Deltona job has this respirable-dust condition: dry cutting concrete produces visible dust. Which safety control should be used?

Correct Answer

C) dust-control method

Silica-producing tasks require dust controls and housekeeping methods that reduce exposure.

Answer Options
A
cut faster to beat the dust
B
open the doors for airflow
C
dust-control method
D
wet the floor afterward

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Silica-producing tasks require dust controls and housekeeping methods that reduce exposure.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: cut faster to beat the dust

cut faster to beat the dust may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the silica exposure control exposure being tested.

Option B: open the doors for airflow

open the doors for airflow may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the silica exposure control exposure being tested.

Option D: wet the floor afterward

wet the floor afterward may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the silica exposure control exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

Name the harm before the guard; cut, faster, beat cannot stand in for Safety Coordinator.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab OSHA 29 CFR 1926 to Subpart Z, 1926.1153 Respirable crystalline silica; verify the OSHA safety threshold or jobsite control before answering.
