construction activities contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other
masonry products, and;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
The risk from such exposures vary depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure

work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
