Exposure Risks for Masons
Masons face several significant exposure risks. They are frequently exposed to high levels of dust and particulate matter from materials such as brick, stone, and mortar, which can lead to respiratory issues like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Handling and mixing mortar and cement also involve exposure to chemicals that can cause skin irritation or respiratory problems. Additionally, masons often work with heavy materials and equipment, increasing the risk of physical injuries such as strains, falls, and cuts. To mitigate these risks, masons should use personal protective equipment (PPE) like dust masks, gloves, and safety glasses, and follow strict safety protocols and proper training.
