- Wood dust is a known asthmagen and carcinogen and is therefore considered a substance hazardous to health. You have not ensured that the exposure of your employees to wood dust is either prevented or, where this is not reasonably practicable, adequately controlled. There is a heavy build up of wood dust in your workshop on vertical and horizontal surfaces providing evidence of poor control including from the existing local exhaust ventilation system. When it is undertaken, cleaning involves dry sweeping rather than vacuuming, and employees are not provided with adequate respiratory protective equipment (RPE).
