1 In the operation here, which is the 2 splitting of the flatware on a band saw, the men 3 removing the pieces separates the two pieces, and the 4 dust is due to this handling of the ware. 5 We feel that an exhaust system should be 6 installed which will remove this excessive dust from 7 the breathing area of the man. 8 We noted that this operator was not wearing 9 a respirator. Use of a respirator for this operation 10 should be mandatory. 11 Recommendations, Owens-Illinois Kaylo 12 division, Berlin, New Jersey. 13 A. Two respirators should be provided for 14 each employee exposed to dust so that one respirator 15 can be cleaned, checked, and sterilized while the 16 other is being used. 17 D. Respirators should be worn in all 18 dust-producing areas which include takeoff at the 19 splitter, charging at the flatware line, unloading 20 boxcars, molded stripping, between rubbers on flatware 21 line and packaging of flatware.
