Wood is usually seen as a natural and pure raw material. Few people think about the <strong>health risks involved in working with wood<\/strong>. Even professionals such as carpenters often work without face masks and therefore underestimate a <strong>major health hazard<\/strong>: <strong>wood dust.<\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If wood dust is released at the workplace as a result of woodworking, <strong>measures<\/strong> must be taken to <strong>protect the employee<\/strong>. This is regulated in the risk assessment, which must be prepared and adhered to by the employer. Protection against wood dust can be provided by a <strong>respiratory mask<\/strong> (e.g. FFP-2 particle-filtering half masks) as part of personal protective equipment. However, this should not be a permanent measure, as the minimization principle applies. Accordingly, <strong>exposure to wood dust<\/strong> must <strong>be kept as low as possible<\/strong> or measures must be taken to counteract its release.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the <strong>STOP principle<\/strong> also applies in this hazardous situation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>S<\/strong>-ubstitution (use of other, less hazardous substances)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>T<\/strong>-echnical measures (e.g. safety airlocks, extraction systems)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>O<\/strong>-rganizational (e.g. restructuring of work processes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>P-<\/strong>ersonal protective measures (use of additional protective equipment)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All protective measures must be adapted to the respective work situation and communicated to the employee through the risk assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below we offer you even more detailed <strong>distinguishing features <\/strong>for<strong> dusts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is meant by dusts?<br><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>term dust<\/strong> refers to <strong>the smallest solid particles<\/strong> that are finely distributed in the ambient air. <strong>A distinction is made between A-dust (fine dust) and E-dust (total dust)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A-dust<\/strong> describes the alveolar dust fraction, which means that the solid particles can penetrate into the alveoli (pulmonary alveoli). There, this dust fraction can cause irritation and inflammation and lead to long-term damage to the lung tissue and cause so-called pneumoconiosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>E-dust<\/strong> describes the inhalable fraction, i.e. the dust particles that can be inhaled through the mouth and nose. They do not penetrate quite as deeply into the lungs, but can cause equally severe irritation. The DIN EN 481 standard describes the particle size and diameter. The following can be deduced from this: The smaller the particle diameter, the deeper the particles penetrate into the lungs and the more severe the damage to the lung tissue can be.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><br>What is wood dust?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wood dust<\/strong> describes the<strong> dust particles that occur during woodworking<\/strong>. These are tiny wood particles that are produced during sawing and sanding work and the further processing of various types of wood. These are stirred up in the ambient air and can enter the lungs via the respiratory tract and cause damage to health. According to the <strong>Hazardous Substances Ordinance, wood dust is classified as hazardous substance<\/strong> and employees must therefore be protected from exposure. Due to its <strong>particle size, wood dust belongs to the inhalable fraction (E-dust)<\/strong> and <strong> enters the lungs<\/strong> via the <strong>upper respiratory tract<\/strong> <strong>(nose and mouth)<\/strong>.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There it can irritate the respiratory tract and trigger sensitization. There are also types of wood (beech and oak) whose dusts are classified as carcinogenic. It can be absorbed not only through the respiratory tract, but also through the skin. The fine wood dust can settle <strong>on the skin<\/strong> (e.g. on the arms during work) and cause <strong>irritation or itching<\/strong>. Workers can be protected by wearing appropriate clothing.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wood dust explosion<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, wood dust poses an additional hazard. If it is released and dispersed finely in the air, there is a risk of a dust explosion. A <strong>wood dust explosion <\/strong>can occur if various factors occur together. If the wood dust has a very small grain size or particle diameter and is distributed in the ambient air with a correspondingly high density, only a small ignition source is required and an explosion occurs. Due to the fine distribution of the small particles, the surface area of the dust increases enormously. This increase in surface area can be seen in the diagram below. Compared to a uniform piece of wood with a relatively small surface area, the surface area is huge for the same weight of wood dust. If these dust particles now come into contact with a spark, a devastating chain reaction is set in motion that releases explosive energy.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is therefore important to <strong>minimize<\/strong> or prevent <strong>the release of wood dust<\/strong> in <strong>everyday working life<\/strong>. One measure is <strong>regular ventilation to<\/strong> prevent <strong>the formation of the explosive dust-air mixture<\/strong>. This <strong>air exchange<\/strong> can be carried out using an extraction system, for example. However, it is important to ensure that this is checked regularly and equipped with appropriate fire protection measures. Furthermore, ignition sources must be kept away and sparks must be avoided.    <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[1]: Source Featured image: \u00a9 Carlos Santos \/ 123RF.com<br>[2]: https:\/\/www.bghm.de\/fileadmin\/user_upload\/Arbeitsschuetzer\/Gesetze_Vorschriften\/BG-Informationen\/BGI_733.pdf<br>[3]: https:\/\/www.luftanalyse-zentrum.de\/schadstoffquellen\/schadstoffe-holz<br>[4]: https:\/\/publikationen.dguv.de\/dguv\/pdf\/10002\/209-044.pdf<br>[5]: https:\/\/www.baua.de\/DE\/Angebote\/Rechtstexte-und-Technische-Regeln\/Regelwerk\/TRGS\/pdf\/TRGS-553.pdf?__blob=publicationFile<br>[6]: https:\/\/www.arbeitssicherheit.de\/schriften\/dokument\/0%3A5004911%2C2.html<br>[7]: https:\/\/www.bgbau-medien.de\/infopool\/html\/pdf\/209_044.pdf<br>[8]: https:\/\/www.befestigungsfuchs.de\/blog\/holzstaub-die-unsichtbare-gefahr\/<br>[9]: https:\/\/www.wuerth.de\/web\/de\/awkg\/unternehmen\/magazin\/content_52608.php<br>[10]: https:\/\/www.bgrci.de\/fileadmin\/BGRCI\/Veranstaltungen\/Sifa_Tag<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wood dust measurement for risk assessment at the workplace Wood dust is classified as E-dust and poses a great risk of the particles settling in the lungs or affecting other parts of the body.
