Exposure Risks for Carpenters
Carpenters face several significant exposure risks on the job. They are often exposed to dust from cutting and sanding wood, which can lead to respiratory issues such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They may also encounter hazardous materials, such as chemicals in wood preservatives and adhesives, which can cause skin irritation and other health problems. Additionally, carpenters frequently work with heavy tools and machinery, increasing the risk of physical injuries like cuts, bruises, and strains. To mitigate these risks, carpenters should use personal protective equipment (PPE), including dust masks, safety glasses, and gloves, and adhere to strict safety protocols and training.
