"What I like about construction is working outside and working with my hands. I can drive through town and say, ‘Hey, I built that.' But it's a dangerous job. Since 1991, in our Local, at least twelve people have been killed. You walk onto a site and you don't know what you're breathing, and you don't know who's working with what." |
Many of the dangers of construction work are obvious. We’re all familiar with safety hazards like unstable scaffolding, falling objects, electric shocks and fires.
Other dangers, especially chemical hazards, are less obvious. Some are hidden. If you’re doing demolition work and breathe in asbestos, you may not notice any effect at the time, but you can develop lung cancer many years later. Other chemicals have both short-term and long-term effects. You may feel sick or dizzy right away when you work with adhesives, paints or other materials that contain solvents. If you work with these solvents for many years, they can damage your liver or nervous system. Coal tar pitch used in roofing and roadwork may irritate your eyes and nose right away and may cause cancer years later.
For construction workers who smoke, the dangers are even greater. When your body has to deal with tobacco smoke as well as the dust and other chemicals at construction sites, your risk of getting cancer, lung disease and other serious illnesses is much higher. And the effects of tobacco use are not limited to the user. Secondhand smoke causes over 53,000 deaths a year among non-smokers.
The purpose of this guide is to give you information you can use to protect yourself. The focus is on the dangers of workplace chemicals and tobacco smoke because you probably already know about the common safety hazards on your job. This guide is part of a health and safety training project that teaches people in apprenticeship and vocational education programs how to recognize chemical hazards on the job, including those from tobacco, and how to plan strategies to make the workplace safer.
Voices From the Workplace
Here are some statements about health and safety that you might hear on the job. You may agree or disagree with each one. The information after each statement will give you some facts.
Respirators and other safety equipment can be uncomfortable and slow you down. But they can also save your life!
-
If toxic chemicals
get into your body — through your skin or lungs — they can cause
serious harm. Some chemicals can affect you right away, causing coughing,
skin irritation, dizziness or other symptoms. Other chemicals cause no
short-term symptoms, so there is no warning that they may cause serious
long-term damage.
-
The nose is not a
reliable way to measure danger. Some chemicals smell bad, but are safe.
Other chemicals have no odor, but are deadly. One example is carbon monoxide
— it’s odorless and invisible, but it can kill.
The employer is responsible for making the workplace safe. But if it isn’t possible to eliminate toxics from the work environment, personal protective equipment is your last line of defense.
If you’re exposed to toxic chemicals at work, the risk to your health will be higher if you also smoke cigarettes or have to breathe someone’s secondhand smoke.
-
Tobacco smoke adds
harmful chemicals to those already in the work environment, increasing
the risk.
• The more toxic exposure you have, the greater your risk. Avoiding toxic chemicals on the job and toxic chemicals in cigarettes are both important.
• The more toxic materials get into your body, the greater your risk. Cigarettes make it easier for other toxic substances to enter the body.
If you smoke, your odds of dying from lung cancer are five times higher than the odds for a non-smoker.
-
Many people can name
someone they know who never worked with cancer-causing chemicals, who
never smoked, but who died of cancer anyway. We also know people who smoke
and live long lives. These cases are exceptions because the Surgeon General
has proven that cigarette smoking causes 83% of all lung cancers and about
30% of other kinds of cancer.
-
Other chemicals (not
just those in cigarettes) also increase your risk of cancer. There is
no doubt that thousands of cancer deaths could be prevented by reducing
workers’ exposure to asbestos, nickel, chromium and other toxics.
Smoking or breathing secondhand smoke increases the risk from toxic chemicals for several reasons.
-
First, smoking means
more chemicals for your body to handle. For example, welding on the construction
site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide,
so you’re getting a much larger dose. Long-term exposure to carbon
monoxide weakens the heart.
Also, when the chemicals in tobacco smoke combine with certain other cancer-causing substances – for example, asbestos – the combination greatly increases the risk of lung cancer. An asbestos worker who doesn’t smoke has 5 times the risk of lung cancer as the general population, while an asbestos worker who smokes has more than 50 times the risk of lung cancer.

"What I like about construction is working outside and working with my hands. I can drive through town and say, ‘Hey, I built that.' But it's a dangerous job. Since 1991, in our Local, at least twelve people have been killed. You walk onto a site and you don't know what you're breathing, and you don't know who's working with what." |
Many of the dangers of construction work are obvious. We’re all familiar with safety hazards like unstable scaffolding, falling objects, electric shocks and fires.
Other dangers, especially chemical hazards, are less obvious. Some are hidden. If you’re doing demolition work and breathe in asbestos, you may not notice any effect at the time, but you can develop lung cancer many years later. Other chemicals have both short-term and long-term effects. You may feel sick or dizzy right away when you work with adhesives, paints or other materials that contain solvents. If you work with these solvents for many years, they can damage your liver or nervous system. Coal tar pitch used in roofing and roadwork may irritate your eyes and nose right away and may cause cancer years later.
For construction workers who smoke, the dangers are even greater. When your body has to deal with tobacco smoke as well as the dust and other chemicals at construction sites, your risk of getting cancer, lung disease and other serious illnesses is much higher. And the effects of tobacco use are not limited to the user. Secondhand smoke causes over 53,000 deaths a year among non-smokers.
The purpose of this guide is to give you information you can use to protect yourself. The focus is on the dangers of workplace chemicals and tobacco smoke because you probably already know about the common safety hazards on your job. This guide is part of a health and safety training project that teaches people in apprenticeship and vocational education programs how to recognize chemical hazards on the job, including those from tobacco, and how to plan strategies to make the workplace safer.
Voices From the Workplace
Here are some statements about health and safety that you might hear on the job. You may agree or disagree with each one. The information after each statement will give you some facts.
Respirators and other safety equipment can be uncomfortable and slow you down. But they can also save your life!
-
If toxic chemicals
get into your body — through your skin or lungs — they can cause
serious harm. Some chemicals can affect you right away, causing coughing,
skin irritation, dizziness or other symptoms. Other chemicals cause no
short-term symptoms, so there is no warning that they may cause serious
long-term damage.
-
The nose is not a
reliable way to measure danger. Some chemicals smell bad, but are safe.
Other chemicals have no odor, but are deadly. One example is carbon monoxide
— it’s odorless and invisible, but it can kill.
The employer is responsible for making the workplace safe. But if it isn’t possible to eliminate toxics from the work environment, personal protective equipment is your last line of defense.
If you’re exposed to toxic chemicals at work, the risk to your health will be higher if you also smoke cigarettes or have to breathe someone’s secondhand smoke.
-
Tobacco smoke adds
harmful chemicals to those already in the work environment, increasing
the risk.
• The more toxic exposure you have, the greater your risk. Avoiding toxic chemicals on the job and toxic chemicals in cigarettes are both important.
• The more toxic materials get into your body, the greater your risk. Cigarettes make it easier for other toxic substances to enter the body.
If you smoke, your odds of dying from lung cancer are five times higher than the odds for a non-smoker.
-
Many people can name
someone they know who never worked with cancer-causing chemicals, who
never smoked, but who died of cancer anyway. We also know people who smoke
and live long lives. These cases are exceptions because the Surgeon General
has proven that cigarette smoking causes 83% of all lung cancers and about
30% of other kinds of cancer.
-
Other chemicals (not
just those in cigarettes) also increase your risk of cancer. There is
no doubt that thousands of cancer deaths could be prevented by reducing
workers’ exposure to asbestos, nickel, chromium and other toxics.

How
Construction Work Can Affect Your Health
It’s not always
easy to recognize when health problems are related to your work. Don’t
ignore headaches, frequent colds and coughs, dizziness, skin problems or
other symptoms you think may be related to your job. They may be caused
by chemicals or other conditions at work.
| HEAD Dizziness, headaches. Common causes: Solvents, ozone, noise, eye strain, smoke (including tobacco). |
EYES Red, watery, irritated. Common causes: Cement, wood dust, fiberglass, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
|
| NOSE & THROAT Sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, solvents, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
CHEST & LUNGS Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, lung cancer. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco), solvents. |
|
| SKIN Redness, dryness, rash, itching, skin cancer. Common causes: Solvents, cement, fiberglass, wood dust. |
STOMACH Nausea, vomiting, stomach ache. Common causes: Some wood dust, solvents, long-term lead exposure, job stress. |
|
| NERVOUS SYSTEM Nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, tremors. Common causes: Long-term solvent exposure, longterm lead exposure, job stress. |
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM For men: low sperm count, damage to sperm. For women: irregularities in menstruation, miscarriage, damage to egg or fetus. Common causes: Lead, toluene, some other solvents. |
How Do I Know If the Construction Job I’m Working on Is Hazardous?
To
figure out what the hazards of a particular construction job may be, ask
these questions and check the chart on the following pages. The chart also
suggests important control measures that can be taken to protect workers.1. Is there a lot of dust in the air?
-
The air on construction
sites, especially during demolition work, can contain asbestos,
silica, cement dust, fiberglass and wood dust. Most of these dusts
can irritate your eyes, nose and lungs. Some can cause bronchitis, asthma
and even cancer.
-
Varnishes, wood
sealers, paints, thinners, adhesives and many other construction
materials contain solvents. They can get into your body through your skin
or when you breathe the vapors. Solvents can give you headaches and make
you dizzy. If you work with them for many years, they may damage your
liver or nervous system.
-
Many construction
materials — like adhesives, sealants, waterproofing agents,
floor and wall coverings — are made up of isocyanate (the
raw material for polyurethane) or epoxy resin systems. The chemicals in
these systems can get into your body through your skin, or when you breathe
the mists or vapors. They can irritate your nose, eyes, throat and lungs.
Some people may develop an allergic reaction, similar to asthma.
4
What are other trades doing nearby?-
In construction work,
someone else’s work may produce welding fumes, chemical vapors, asphalt
smoke or other toxic hazards. These can affect everyone in the vicinity.
Be aware of what other trades are doing, and protect yourself.
-
If you or someone
else smokes on the job, you’re being exposed to many more toxic substances.
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals.

| CONTROLS FOR DUSTS | |
| ASBESTOS | Asbestos
removal jobs may be done only by licensed asbestos contractors. Isolate asbestos work and provide exhaust ventilation or dust collecting device. Keep material wet while removing it. Wear special protective clothing and correct respirators. Remove clothing and shower before leaving enclosed area. Post caution signs and labels. Smoking should be prohibited. |
| OTHER DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
Construction Hazards : Metals - Dusts & Fumes
|
Dusts & Fumes |
|
|
| CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, COPPER, ZINC, MAGNESIUM | Welding; drilling, cutting and sawing pipes; scraping rust or coatings. | Short-term:
Metal dusts can be irritating to skin, nose, eyes and lungs.
Effects of fumes differ depending on metal (see MSDS). Some
metals (such as zinc, copper, and magnesium) cause metal fume fever
(flu-like symptoms with fever, nausea, chills and muscular aches and
pains). Long-term: Depends on metal (see MSDS). Cadmium and chromium can cause cancer. |
| LEAD | Cable splicing, demolition, remodeling, painting, pipefitting, plumbing, roofing, sheetmetal, iron work, welding on lead or surfaces with lead paint or coatings; brass fixtures may release lead. | Short-term:
Effects are very rare. If exposure is high, symptoms similar to long-term
effects may occur. Long-term: Damage to brain and nerves (tremors, muscular weakness, lack of coordination), damage to reproductive systems (men and women), stomach problems, anemia, damage to kidneys. |
| CONTROLS FOR METALS | |
| METAL DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
| METAL FUMES | Avoid
welding on toxic metals or coatings; brush or scrub off coatings first. Natural ventilation is often adequate in open areas. Position yourself so that fumes don’t blow into your face. Use local exhaust ventilation in indoor areas or confined spaces. Wear the correct respirator when ventilation or other controls are not possible. Lead: Shower and change clothes to avoid bringing lead home to your family. |
Construction Hazards : Solvents
|
|
|
|
| BENZENE | Causes leukemia. | These
solvents may be found in: Varnishes Finishes Wood sealers Thinners Paints Adhesives Cleaning and degreasing solutions Other products |
| METHYLENE CHLORIDE | May cause cancer. | |
| TOLUENE | Liver and kidney damage at high levels. May cause birth defects. | |
| TRICHLORO-ETHYLENE | Liver damage. May cause cancer. |
|
|
|
| Most
solvents you work with, including acetone, TCE or other degreasers,
affect your health in similar ways: Short-term: Most organic solvents affect the brain the same way drinking alcohol does. Overexposure causes symptoms resembling drunkenness, including headaches, "feeling high," nausea, dizziness, and at high levels, loss of coordination. Other short-term health effects are eye, nose and throat irritation, and skin rash. Long-term: Repeated, frequent overexposure over months or years may cause long-lasting damage to the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). |
Where
possible, substitute materials that are less toxic. Use ventilation to remove vapors. Wear the correct respirator (refer to MSDS). Wear proper protective clothing, correct gloves, goggles, face shields. No smoking. No open flame nearby. Vapors can build up quickly and become extremely dangerous in confined spaces. Follow OSHA confined space entry procedures where required. (These include pretesting atmosphere before entry; mechanical ventilation of space; respirators; rescue person.) Many fatalities occur in confined spaces. |
Construction Hazards : Other Chemicals
|
|
|
|
| EPOXY RESINS | Impermeable paint, primer for hardwood floors, surface paint and adhesive for concrete walls.. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma. |
| POLYURETHANES (ISOCYANATES) | Seam sealers, polyurethane insulation, electrical wire coatings. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma, other allergic lung diseases. May cause cancer. If workers get sensitized to these chemicals, they will become seriously ill at the slightest exposure. |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Roofing, road work. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Burns, skin irritation,
increased sensitivity to sunlight. Long-term: Cancer of the lungs, skin and other parts of the body. |
| CONTROLS FOR OTHER CHEMICALS | |
| EPOXY RESINS AND POLYURETHANES | When
possible, use one-component products where chemicals are already polymerized.
When spraying, use the correct air-supplied full face respirator (see MSDS). Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear safety goggles and gloves. Get proper training. Never smoke or use an open flame around these chemicals, which are fire and explosion hazards.. DANGER! If you smell it, get out! |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Where
possible, substitute less harmful materials such as coal tar enamel.
Keep melt temperature as low as possible. Install devices to reduce exposure when loading. Keep kettle covers in good shape and closed whenever possible. Wet down old pitch roofs before and during tear-offs. If dust is high, wear the correct respirator. Wear eye protection. Protect the skin, even in hot weather. Launder work clothes often. Wash up before eating, smoking, drinking and going home. If soap and water are not available use waterless cleaner, not gasoline. |
Some
of the Chemicals in Cigarette SmokeThere are over 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. More than 50 of them are known to be carcinogens (to cause cancer).

Secondhand Smoke Facts
 |
You may be smoking, whether or not you ever put a cigarette in your mouth. If you work where people smoke, you may inhale the equivalent of a pack a day of other people's smoke. Here are some facts about secondhand smoke. |
welding
on the construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also
contains carbon monoxide, so you are getting a much larger dose. Long-term
exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
The Odds Against Tobacco Users’ Health
SMOKING
Smoking causes:
• 90% of lung cancer deaths
• 80% of emphysema and chronic bronchitis deaths
• 30% of cancer deaths
• 20% of heart disease deaths
Each year, over 400,000 Americans die prematurely because of smoking. Smoking kills more Americans each year than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, car crashes, fires and AIDS combined. Smoking also causes impotence.
CHEWING TOBACCO
Smokeless tobacco is not a safe alternative to smoking. Chewing tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, larynx and esophagus. Long-term “chew” users are 50 times more likely to get cancer of the cheek and gum than non-users. Chewing tobacco contains arsenic, cyanide, lead and benzene. It also contains fiberglass and dirt, which cause abrasions on the skin so the tobacco can enter the bloodstream more readily. Chewers get three times as much nicotine as smokers. It can be even harder to quit chew than cigarettes.
QUITTING
In the last 25 years, nearly half of all American adults who ever smoked have quit. Millions and millions of people have quit. But most smokers try several times before they quit permanently. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. The reason people use tobacco is to satisfy their addiction to nicotine. Quitting smoking or chewing tobacco can be at least as difficult as quitting cocaine or heroin.
DON’T GIVE UP
For help in quitting, contact the California Smokers’ Helpline. This program provides free and confidential telephone counseling to help you quit smoking or chewing tobacco.

Combining Tobacco Smoke & Workplace Toxics
When tobacco smoke combines with other toxics in the workplace, there is extra danger to your health.
1. Some combinations ADD TO the odds against your health.
-
If you smoke, your
lungs aren’t as good at keeping other chemicals out. Tobacco smoke
damages your lungs’ ability to protect themselves against other
toxic substances you may inhale.
LUNGS: The odds of construction workers getting bronchitis, asthma or other lung diseases are high because you may work with asphalt, coal tar, treated wood and other lung hazards. Tobacco smoke makes it harder for your lungs to get rid of those chemicals.
Smoking also means more chemicals for your body to handle. Your body may be able to stand small amounts of some chemicals, but not larger amounts. Tobacco smoke can cause higher levels of the same harmful chemicals you’re already exposed to on the job. It also adds other harmful chemicals.
HEART: Welding on a construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide. You may not feel sick with a 5 to 10% level of carbon monoxide in your blood. But a 10 to 20% level can cause headaches and make you abnormally tired. Long-term exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
-
Some toxics can
work together inside your body to strengthen each other’s power
to cause disease. This is called synergy. For example, the odds against
your health multiply when you combine tobacco smoke with asbestos:
Scientists suspect that tobacco smoke and the ferric oxide in welding fumes also combine to multiply your risk of getting cancer.
-
Dangerous chemicals
can enter your body when you breathe them, swallow them, or get them
on your skin. The dust from some chemicals, like lead or cadmium, may
collect on your cigarettes. Then, when you put a cigarette to your lips
and inhale, you are not only taking in tobacco smoke, you are also taking
in extra toxics.
5. Smokers are more likely to have job injuries because they can be distracted by eye irritation, coughing or having only one hand free.

How Do I Know If the Construction Job I’m Working on Is Hazardous?
To
figure out what the hazards of a particular construction job may be, ask
these questions and check the chart on the following pages. The chart also
suggests important control measures that can be taken to protect workers.1. Is there a lot of dust in the air?
-
The air on construction
sites, especially during demolition work, can contain asbestos,
silica, cement dust, fiberglass and wood dust. Most of these dusts
can irritate your eyes, nose and lungs. Some can cause bronchitis, asthma
and even cancer.
-
Varnishes, wood
sealers, paints, thinners, adhesives and many other construction
materials contain solvents. They can get into your body through your skin
or when you breathe the vapors. Solvents can give you headaches and make
you dizzy. If you work with them for many years, they may damage your
liver or nervous system.

Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
| METAL FUMES | Avoid
welding on toxic metals or coatings; brush or scrub off coatings first. Natural ventilation is often adequate in open areas. Position yourself so that fumes don’t blow into your face. Use local exhaust ventilation in indoor areas or confined spaces. Wear the correct respirator when ventilation or other controls are not possible. Lead: Shower and change clothes to avoid bringing lead home to your family. |
Construction Hazards : Solvents
|
|
|
|
| BENZENE | Causes leukemia. | These
solvents may be found in: Varnishes Finishes Wood sealers Thinners Paints Adhesives Cleaning and degreasing solutions Other products |
| METHYLENE CHLORIDE | May cause cancer. | |
| TOLUENE | Liver and kidney damage at high levels. May cause birth defects. | |
| TRICHLORO-ETHYLENE | Liver damage. May cause cancer. |
|
|
|
| Most
solvents you work with, including acetone, TCE or other degreasers,
affect your health in similar ways: Short-term: Most organic solvents affect the brain the same way drinking alcohol does. Overexposure causes symptoms resembling drunkenness, including headaches, "feeling high," nausea, dizziness, and at high levels, loss of coordination. Other short-term health effects are eye, nose and throat irritation, and skin rash. Long-term: Repeated, frequent overexposure over months or years may cause long-lasting damage to the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). |
Where
possible, substitute materials that are less toxic. Use ventilation to remove vapors. Wear the correct respirator (refer to MSDS). Wear proper protective clothing, correct gloves, goggles, face shields. No smoking. No open flame nearby. Vapors can build up quickly and become extremely dangerous in confined spaces. Follow OSHA confined space entry procedures where required. (These include pretesting atmosphere before entry; mechanical ventilation of space; respirators; rescue person.) Many fatalities occur in confined spaces. |
Construction Hazards : Other Chemicals
|
|
|
|
| EPOXY RESINS | Impermeable paint, primer for hardwood floors, surface paint and adhesive for concrete walls.. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma. |
| POLYURETHANES (ISOCYANATES) | Seam sealers, polyurethane insulation, electrical wire coatings. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma, other allergic lung diseases. May cause cancer. If workers get sensitized to these chemicals, they will become seriously ill at the slightest exposure. |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Roofing, road work. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Burns, skin irritation,
increased sensitivity to sunlight. Long-term: Cancer of the lungs, skin and other parts of the body. |
| CONTROLS FOR OTHER CHEMICALS | |
| EPOXY RESINS AND POLYURETHANES | When
possible, use one-component products where chemicals are already polymerized.
When spraying, use the correct air-supplied full face respirator (see MSDS). Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear safety goggles and gloves. Get proper training. Never smoke or use an open flame around these chemicals, which are fire and explosion hazards.. DANGER! If you smell it, get out! |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Where
possible, substitute less harmful materials such as coal tar enamel.
Keep melt temperature as low as possible. Install devices to reduce exposure when loading. Keep kettle covers in good shape and closed whenever possible. Wet down old pitch roofs before and during tear-offs. If dust is high, wear the correct respirator. Wear eye protection. Protect the skin, even in hot weather. Launder work clothes often. Wash up before eating, smoking, drinking and going home. If soap and water are not available use waterless cleaner, not gasoline. |
Some
of the Chemicals in Cigarette SmokeThere are over 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. More than 50 of them are known to be carcinogens (to cause cancer). Many of the chemicals in cigarette smoke are also found in the workplace and regulated by OSHA. Some are found in common household products. This is a small sample of the toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke.

Secondhand Smoke Facts
 |
You may be smoking, whether or not you ever put a cigarette in your mouth. If you work where people smoke, you may inhale the equivalent of a pack a day of other people's smoke. Here are some facts about secondhand smoke. |
welding
on the construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also
contains carbon monoxide, so you are getting a much larger dose. Long-term
exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
The Odds Against Tobacco Users’ Health
SMOKING
Smoking causes:
• 90% of lung cancer deaths
• 80% of emphysema and chronic bronchitis deaths
• 30% of cancer deaths
• 20% of heart disease deaths
Each year, over 400,000 Americans die prematurely because of smoking. Smoking kills more Americans each year than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, car crashes, fires and AIDS combined. Smoking also causes impotence.
CHEWING TOBACCO
Smokeless tobacco is not a safe alternative to smoking. Chewing tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, larynx and esophagus. Long-term “chew” users are 50 times more likely to get cancer of the cheek and gum than non-users. Chewing tobacco contains arsenic, cyanide, lead and benzene. It also contains fiberglass and dirt, which cause abrasions on the skin so the tobacco can enter the bloodstream more readily. Chewers get three times as much nicotine as smokers. It can be even harder to quit chew than cigarettes.
QUITTING
In the last 25 years, nearly half of all American adults who ever smoked have quit. Millions and millions of people have quit. But most smokers try several times before they quit permanently. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. The reason people use tobacco is to satisfy their addiction to nicotine. Quitting smoking or chewing tobacco can be at least as difficult as quitting cocaine or heroin.
DON’T GIVE UP
For help in quitting, contact the California Smokers’ Helpline. This program provides free and confidential telephone counseling to help you quit smoking or chewing tobacco.

Combining Tobacco Smoke & Workplace Toxics
When tobacco smoke combines with other toxics in the workplace, there is extra danger to your health.
1. Some combinations ADD TO the odds against your health.
-
If you smoke, your
lungs aren’t as good at keeping other chemicals out. Tobacco smoke
damages your lungs’ ability to protect themselves against other
toxic substances you may inhale.
LUNGS: The odds of construction workers getting bronchitis, asthma or other lung diseases are high because you may work with asphalt, coal tar, treated wood and other lung hazards. Tobacco smoke makes it harder for your lungs to get rid of those chemicals.
Smoking also means more chemicals for your body to handle. Your body may be able to stand small amounts of some chemicals, but not larger amounts. Tobacco smoke can cause higher levels of the same harmful chemicals you’re already exposed to on the job. It also adds other harmful chemicals.
HEART: Welding on a construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide. You may not feel sick with a 5 to 10% level of carbon monoxide in your blood. But a 10 to 20% level can cause headaches and make you abnormally tired. Long-term exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
-
Some toxics can
work together inside your body to strengthen each other’s power
to cause disease. This is called synergy. For example, the odds against
your health multiply when you combine tobacco smoke with asbestos:
Scientists suspect that tobacco smoke and the ferric oxide in welding fumes also combine to multiply your risk of getting cancer.
-
Dangerous chemicals
can enter your body when you breathe them, swallow them, or get them
on your skin. The dust from some chemicals, like lead or cadmium, may
collect on your cigarettes. Then, when you put a cigarette to your lips
and inhale, you are not only taking in tobacco smoke, you are also taking
in extra toxics.
5. Smokers are more likely to have job injuries because they can be distracted by eye irritation, coughing or having only one hand free.

“Pues,
si uno lo hace por necesidad, por la familia, pero uno debe pensar
en su salud, que mañana no voy a estar aquí.” “Well, we work out of necessity, for the family. But you have to think about your health — that tomorrow, I might not be here.” |
There are different ways to reduce chemical hazards on the job. The best ways are to stop using the most toxic materials, or to design the work and equipment so that no one is exposed to toxics.
USE SAFER CHEMICALS.
Sometimes you can use a substance that is less toxic. For example, many of the materials you work with contain solvents. Water-based or alcohol-based solvents are usually safer than “chlorinated hydrocarbons” (solvents with chlorine in them) and “aromatic hydrocarbons” (like toluene and xylene). But always check out the hazards of the substitute to make sure it is really less hazardous.
DESIGN THE JOB AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT EXPOSURE TO TOXICS.
It’s better to prevent the hazard from ever reaching a worker than to rely on protective clothing or gear. For example, local exhaust ventilation (a “sucker” that pulls dust or welding fumes away right at the source) gets rid of a toxic substance before anyone has a chance to breathe it.
ENFORCE SAFETY RULES.
Work rules and procedures can help cut down on your exposure to toxics. For example, keeping the workplace clean can limit the amount of dusts in the air and help reduce other safety hazards. Workers should never eat or smoke in the work area. California’s law prohibiting smoking in indoor workplaces eliminates exposure to secondhand smoke. Some employers and local governments also ban smoking in outdoor areas.
GIVE WORKERS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IF NECESSARY.
Goggles, gloves, respirators and other personal protective equipment can help protect you gainst toxic hazards on the job, but they don’t usually protect you completely. They shield you from hazards rather than eliminating them. That’s why you should rely on personal protective equipment only if there is no better way to control the problem.

Use the Right Respirator
Respirators
can be hot and uncomfortable. You don’t want to wear one if you don’t
have to. They also aren’t as effective as some other kinds of protection.
But if there is no way to remove a harmful material from the air you are
breathing (by using a safer chemical, better ventilation or other controls),
you will need to use a respirator to protect yourself. Here are some guidelines
to help you decide if you’re getting the right protection.1. Your employer must set up a respiratory protection program.
-
If you need to use
a respirator on the job, Cal/OSHA requires your employer to set up a “respiratory
protection program.” The program should help you choose the right
respirator, make sure it fits, and get training about how to use it and
take care of it.
-
You can check the
label on the respirator or on its cartridge to find out what hazards it
protects you from. Make sure it is approved by “NIOSH” for protection
against the hazards you’re working with.
- DUST MASKS
protect only against wood dusts and other dusts that are
not very toxic. They don’t protect you against spray
mists or toxic dusts like asbestos, silica or lead. They also will not
protect you against chemical vapors or secondhand smoke. If you use
a dust mask, make sure it has a double strap and a good nose grip. Never
rely on single strap masks.
- DUAL CARTRIDGE
RESPIRATORS
protect against various hazards. These respirators use pairs of filters
or cartridges. Different filters and cartridges protect against different
hazards.
Use the right MECHANICAL FILTER for dusts, metal fumes and mists.
Use the right CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE for toxic gases and vapors from solvents or paints.
Use a COMBINATION RESPIRATOR for all the above — dusts, fumes, mists, gases and vapors. Combination respirators are available for any set of inhalation hazards.
- AIR-SUPPLIED
RESPIRATORS give you fresh air from a tank or through an airline.
Use them when you work in a confined space where there is not enough
oxygen to breathe.
CAUTION: If there is a rip or tear in the mask, it will not protect you from any hazards.
| CAUTION: If you have heart disease or respiratory problems, you should check with your doctor before using a respirator. |
-
No one respirator
will fit everyone. If your respirator does not fit properly on your face,
it will leak. You cannot tell if it fits by how it feels. The law requires
your employer to test the fit to make sure no vapors or dusts can leak
in around the edges.
-
Your respirator must
be kept clean, and the cartridges or filters should be changed regularly.
A respirator with a worn-out cartridge is worse than no respirator at
all. (It’s not protecting you, but it’s making it harder to
breathe.)
| CAUTION: If you have a beard, it is impossible to get a proper fit with most respirators. |
Tips for Taking Action
Once you have decided to try to improve health and safety on the job, you need to do some planning. Here are some tips for coming up with a realistic action plan.
Get support of co-workers.
-
No matter whether
you’re trying to get your employer to supply respirators that fit,
install a ventilation system or establish an outdoor workplace smoking
policy, the first and most important step to take is to get the
support of your co-workers.
-
It takes time to
convince co-workers that it’s worth taking some action to eliminate
a hazard. In many workplaces, people have found it useful to:
- Seek help from
the union (or consider organizing one).
- Take a survey
of the workforce to document the symptoms and illnesses that seem to
be related to each worker’s job.
- Identify other
workers who are concerned.
- Identify resources
for information and help.
- Have a meeting.
- Form a health
and safety committee, or join one that’s already been set up.
- Form a group to meet with the employer, or choose a co-worker the employer will listen to.
-
Some employers take
their responsibility for providing a safe workplace seriously. Once they
understand that conditions on their sites can cause serious health problems,
they will attempt to cooperate in changing them. Some possible approaches
are:
- Explain how serious
the problem is.
- Explain how many
workers’ compensation claims there could be, and point out that
they could be expensive and increase insurance rates.
- Show how production,
absenteeism and morale will improve if hazards are reduced.
- Show the advantages
of a health and safety committee.
- nsurance carrier
about health and safety services the insurer may provide.
- Tell them about Cal/OSHA’s free consultation service for employers.
-
When employers don’t
cooperate, workers still can:
- Seek help from
a union (or consider organizing one).
- File a grievance
(if there’s a contract).
- File a Cal/OSHA
complaint or get someone else to file one.
- File a complaint
with the National Labor Relations Board.
- Tell the press
about the problem. Go public in the community.
- Consider a job action or strike (only as a last resort).
THE RIGHT TO A SAFE WORKPLACE.
-
(California Labor
Code §6400, 6401)
- A written plan
with the name of the person who is responsible for health and safety
on the job.
- Information and
training for workers about possible hazards, given in a language that
workers understand.
- A system for
inspecting the workplace and correcting hazards promptly.
- A system for
workers to report hazards without fear of being fired or punished in
any way.
Both the federal and California Occupational Safety and Health Acts say that an employer must provide a workplace that is free from hazards and meets health and safety standards.
In California, Cal/OSHA regulations also say that your employer must set up an effective injury and illness prevention program (General Industry Safety Order 3203). This regulation requires:
-
(California Labor
Code §6404.5)
- “Indoor”
means four walls and a ceiling. It doesn’t matter whether there
are windows, louvers or sliding doors that open.
- Smoking is permitted in outdoor workplaces, unless an employer or a local ordinance bans it.
- Employers may
provide breakrooms for smokers, as long as they meet ventilation requirements
and as long as employers also provide non-smoking breakrooms.
- If smoking is
allowed in your indoor workplace, you have the right to file a complaint.
Different cities and counties have different enforcement agencies. Check
with your local health department to find the enforcement agency in
your area. If your employer has had three violations within a year,
you can file a complaint with Cal/OSHA.
California law says that no one shall smoke or permit smoking in an enclosed workplace.
-
(California Labor
Code §6398, 6399, 6408)
You have the right to know which toxic materials you work with and how they may harm you. You also have the right to see the results of any tests done to measure chemicals in your workplace. You may see your medical records, and records of injuries and illnesses related to work.
-
(California Labor
Code §6309)
The fastest way to correct a hazard may be to deal with your employer directly. But if this doesn’t work, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. The law allows you to file a complaint confidentially. Cal/OSHA won’t reveal who made the complaint.
-
(California Labor
Code §6310)
An employer may not fire you, or punish you in any way, for using the rights listed here. If your employer discriminates against you for using your health and safety rights, contact your union and/or the nearest office of the State Labor Commissioner.
In some cases, you also have the right to refuse to do an unsafe job without reprisal if there is a “real and apparent hazard.” Before refusing to do hazardous work, always try to get your employer to correct the hazard and/or inform Cal/OSHA about it.
-
(California Labor
Code §6401, 6403)
The law requires that the employer provide you with safety and protective equipment which is “reasonably adequate” to let you do the job safely — like gloves, safety glasses and respirators. You are not responsible for the cost.
-
(California Labor
Code §3600)
If a job hazard injures you or makes you sick, or if it makes a previous health problem get worse, workers’ comp will pay a percentage of your wage while you are recovering. Workers’ comp also pays for related medical expenses. For details on how to collect these benefits, call the toll-free number of the Workers' Compensation Information and Assistance Unit (1-800-736-7401). You may also wish to contact a workers' comp lawyer.
-
(California Labor
Code §9040)
The law requires that employers give free medical tests to anyone who works with asbestos, lead and a few other specific hazardous materials. The law also says that your employer must tell you the results of these tests.
| FINDING LAWS
AND REGULATIONS The California Labor Code is available in most public libraries and on the Internet. Cal/OSHA has many specific regulations, called “standards,” which give more details on the rights described in this section and other safety requirements. These are found in Title 8 of the California Administrative Code, General Industry Safety Orders and Construction Safety Orders. These Cal/OSHA Standards are available on the Internet. |
What If Someone’s Smoking Indoors at the Work Site?
Even though California law prohibits smoking in indoor workplaces, sometimes people still smoke there. Here are some tips about what to do if someone smokes indoors at your workplace.
- Talk to your co-workers and see if the smoke is bothering other people, too.
- Talk to the person who is smoking, and explain why the smoke is not good for them, and others in the workplace.
- Talk to the employer and explain that they’ve got to enforce the law.
- If you don’t feel comfortable doing these things, contact your local public health department’s tobacco control program and explain the problem. You have the right to file a complaint directly with the health department or other enforcement agency in your area. (The health department people will tell you which agency enforces the no-smoking law.)
- The enforcement agency can fine both the individual smoker and the employer who allows smoking in an indoor workplace. Even if the smoker is not an employee, he or she can be fined. Generally, fines are $100 for the first violation, $200 for the second violation and $500 for the third violation.
- If your employer has had three violations within one year, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. OSHA Penalties can range up to $70,000 depending on the seriousness of the situation.
When to File a Complaint
-
Often on construction
sites, health and safety hazards are present for only a short time. By
the time Cal/OSHA can get to the site, the hazard may not be there. It’s
best if you, your co-workers and your union can get hazards eliminated
by working directly with the employer. Sometimes, however, you should
call Cal/OSHA. You should do this:
- Immediately, if there is a situation that threatens someone’s life.
- When there has been a serious injury on the job.
- When you or your union cannot resolve a health and safety problem with the employer.
- You may file your complaint by phone, in person or by mail. If you phone in your complaint, it’s a good idea to document it by following up in writing. To find your nearest Cal/OSHA office, look in the State Government Pages of the phone book (under “California, State of, Industrial Relations Department, Occupational Safety and Health”).
- You do not have to use your name, but you can if you want. Your name will be kept confidential. If you prefer, ask your union representative to help you file the complaint or file it for you.
- Try to make your complaint complete and convincing. Let Cal/OSHA know how serious the problem is and how many people may be affected. Describe exactly where the problem is located (draw a diagram, if it helps). Explain what has happened, or may happen, as a result. You don’t need to specify which safety regulations you think are being violated.
- You will get the best results if you call and follow up on your complaint. Keep in touch with the Cal/OSHA office.
- Cal/OSHA will review your complaint, assign an inspector and send him or her out to conduct an unannounced inspection. You and your union rep have the right to go with the inspector during the “walkaround” inspection. If Cal/OSHA finds violations of safety regulations, they will order management to fix the problem within a specific period of time. They also may require the employer to pay a fine. If the employer appeals the citation, you and your union rep have a right to participate in the appeal process.
- If you and your employer agree to work together to investigate and solve a health and safety problem, Cal/OSHA can help you. Cal/OSHA has a free Consultation Service that will assist employers or joint labor-management committees.
- Your employer must get a permit from Cal/OSHA for certain construction and demolition jobs. Before granting the permit, Cal/OSHA may meet with the contractor, workers and their union representatives to make sure the job will be done safely.
Under California law, your employer must:
1. LABEL
-
Label all containers
of toxic materials. Proper labels have the name of the chemical, warnings
about the chemical’s hazards and the name and address of the manufacturer.
-
Train every employee
about the toxics used on the job. The training must include information
on the dangerous chemicals you work with, how they can harm you, the symptoms
to watch out for and how to protect yourself.
-
Give you detailed
information on each hazardous chemical you work with, when you ask for
the information. The main source of this information is the MSDS (Material
Safety Data Sheet). Each hazardous chemical should have an MSDS. Your
employer is responsible for getting the MSDS for any hazardous substance
used on the job, and making sure you can look at it. Your training must
explain how to read the MSDS.
Title 8, General Industry Safety Order 5194.
You also have the right to see:
- Records of any company tests done to measure the level of toxic chemicals in the workplace. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Your own medical records if the company keeps them. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Records of any illnesses and injuries that you and your co-workers suffered because of conditions at work. The law requires that an employer keep these records for five years. They’re called “Log 200.” (General Industry Safety Order 3203)
- The employer’s
written plan for preventing illness and injury. This plan must include
a way to identify and solve health and safety problems. (General Industry
Safety Order 3203)
If the employer refuses to give you any of this information, you have the right to file a Cal/OSHA complaint. (California Labor Code §6309)

They shield you from hazards rather than eliminating them. That’s why you should rely on personal protective equipment only if there is no better way to control the problem.

Use the Right Respirator
Respirators
can be hot and uncomfortable. You don’t want to wear one if you don’t
have to. They also aren’t as effective as some other kinds of protection.
But if there is no way to remove a harmful material from the air you are
breathing (by using a safer chemical, better ventilation or other controls),
you will need to use a respirator to protect yourself. Here are some guidelines
to help you decide if you’re getting the right protection.1. Your employer must set up a respiratory protection program.
-
If you need to use
a respirator on the job, Cal/OSHA requires your employer to set up a “respiratory
protection program.” The program should help you choose the right
respirator, make sure it fits, and get training about how to use it and
take care of it.
-
You can check the
label on the respirator or on its cartridge to find out what hazards it
protects you from. Make sure it is approved by “NIOSH” for protection
against the hazards you’re working with.
- DUST MASKS
protect only against wood dusts and other dusts that are
not very toxic. They don’t protect you against spray
mists or toxic dusts like asbestos, silica or lead. They also will not
protect you against chemical vapors or secondhand smoke. If you use
a dust mask, make sure it has a double strap and a good nose grip. Never
rely on single strap masks.
- DUAL CARTRIDGE
RESPIRATORS
protect against various hazards. These respirators use pairs of filters
or cartridges. Different filters and cartridges protect against different
hazards.
Use the right MECHANICAL FILTER for dusts, metal fumes and mists.
Use the right CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE for toxic gases and vapors from solvents or paints.
Use a COMBINATION RESPIRATOR for all the above — dusts, fumes, mists, gases and vapors. Combination respirators are available for any set of inhalation hazards.
- AIR-SUPPLIED
RESPIRATORS give you fresh air from a tank or through an airline.
Use them when you work in a confined space where there is not enough
oxygen to breathe.
CAUTION: If there is a rip or tear in the mask, it will not protect you from any hazards.
| CAUTION: If you have heart disease or respiratory problems, you should check with your doctor before using a respirator. |
-
No one respirator
will fit everyone. If your respirator does not fit properly on your face,
it will leak. You cannot tell if it fits by how it feels. The law requires
your employer to test the fit to make sure no vapors or dusts can leak
in around the edges.
-
Your respirator must
be kept clean, and the cartridges or filters should be changed regularly.
A respirator with a worn-out cartridge is worse than no respirator at
all. (It’s not protecting you, but it’s making it harder to
breathe.)
| CAUTION: If you have a beard, it is impossible to get a proper fit with most respirators. |
Tips for Taking Action
Once you have decided to try to improve health and safety on the job, you need to do some planning. Here are some tips for coming up with a realistic action plan.
Get support of co-workers.
-
No matter whether
you’re trying to get your employer to supply respirators that fit,
install a ventilation system or establish an outdoor workplace smoking
policy, the first and most important step to take is to get the
support of your co-workers.
-
It takes time to
convince co-workers that it’s worth taking some action to eliminate
a hazard. In many workplaces, people have found it useful to:
- Seek help from
the union (or consider organizing one).
- Take a survey
of the workforce to document the symptoms and illnesses that seem to
be related to each worker’s job.
- Identify other
workers who are concerned.
- Identify resources
for information and help.
- Have a meeting.
- Form a health
and safety committee, or join one that’s already been set up.
- Form a group to meet with the employer, or choose a co-worker the employer will listen to.
-
Some employers take
their responsibility for providing a safe workplace seriously. Once they
understand that conditions on their sites can cause serious health problems,
they will attempt to cooperate in changing them. Some possible approaches
are:
- Explain how serious
the problem is.
- Explain how many
workers’ compensation claims there could be, and point out that
they could be expensive and increase insurance rates.
- Show how production,
absenteeism and morale will improve if hazards are reduced.
- Show the advantages
of a health and safety committee.
- nsurance carrier
about health and safety services the insurer may provide.
- Tell them about Cal/OSHA’s free consultation service for employers.
-
When employers don’t
cooperate, workers still can:
- Seek help from
a union (or consider organizing one).
- File a grievance
(if there’s a contract).
- File a Cal/OSHA
complaint or get someone else to file one.
- File a complaint
with the National Labor Relations Board.
- Tell the press
about the problem. Go public in the community.
- Consider a job action or strike (only as a last resort).
THE RIGHT TO A SAFE WORKPLACE.
-
(California Labor
Code §6400, 6401)
- A written plan
with the name of the person who is responsible for health and safety
on the job.
- Information and
training for workers about possible hazards, given in a language that
workers understand.
- A system for
inspecting the workplace and correcting hazards promptly.
- A system for
workers to report hazards without fear of being fired or punished in
any way.
Both the federal and California Occupational Safety and Health Acts say that an employer must provide a workplace that is free from hazards and meets health and safety standards.
In California, Cal/OSHA regulations also say that your employer must set up an effective injury and illness prevention program (General Industry Safety Order 3203). This regulation requires:
-
(California Labor
Code §6404.5)
- “Indoor”
means four walls and a ceiling. It doesn’t matter whether there
are windows, louvers or sliding doors that open.
- Smoking is permitted in outdoor workplaces, unless an employer or a local ordinance bans it.
- Employers may
provide breakrooms for smokers, as long as they meet ventilation requirements
and as long as employers also provide non-smoking breakrooms.
- If smoking is
allowed in your indoor workplace, you have the right to file a complaint.
Different cities and counties have different enforcement agencies. Check
with your local health department to find the enforcement agency in
your area. If your employer has had three violations within a year,
you can file a complaint with Cal/OSHA.
California law says that no one shall smoke or permit smoking in an enclosed workplace.
-
(California Labor
Code §6398, 6399, 6408)
You have the right to know which toxic materials you work with and how they may harm you. You also have the right to see the results of any tests done to measure chemicals in your workplace. You may see your medical records, and records of injuries and illnesses related to work.
-
(California Labor
Code §6309)
The fastest way to correct a hazard may be to deal with your employer directly. But if this doesn’t work, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. The law allows you to file a complaint confidentially. Cal/OSHA won’t reveal who made the complaint.
-
(California Labor
Code §6310)
An employer may not fire you, or punish you in any way, for using the rights listed here. If your employer discriminates against you for using your health and safety rights, contact your union and/or the nearest office of the State Labor Commissioner.
In some cases, you also have the right to refuse to do an unsafe job without reprisal if there is a “real and apparent hazard.” Before refusing to do hazardous work, always try to get your employer to correct the hazard and/or inform Cal/OSHA about it.
-
(California Labor
Code §6401, 6403)
The law requires that the employer provide you with safety and protective equipment which is “reasonably adequate” to let you do the job safely — like gloves, safety glasses and respirators. You are not responsible for the cost.
-
(California Labor
Code §3600)
If a job hazard injures you or makes you sick, or if it makes a previous health problem get worse, workers’ comp will pay a percentage of your wage while you are recovering. Workers’ comp also pays for related medical expenses. For details on how to collect these benefits, call the toll-free number of the Workers' Compensation Information and Assistance Unit (1-800-736-7401). You may also wish to contact a workers' comp lawyer.
-
(California Labor
Code §9040)
The law requires that employers give free medical tests to anyone who works with asbestos, lead and a few other specific hazardous materials. The law also says that your employer must tell you the results of these tests.
| FINDING LAWS
AND REGULATIONS The California Labor Code is available in most public libraries and on the Internet. Cal/OSHA has many specific regulations, called “standards,” which give more details on the rights described in this section and other safety requirements. These are found in Title 8 of the California Administrative Code, General Industry Safety Orders and Construction Safety Orders. These Cal/OSHA Standards are available on the Internet. |
What If Someone’s Smoking Indoors at the Work Site?
Even though California law prohibits smoking in indoor workplaces, sometimes people still smoke there. Here are some tips about what to do if someone smokes indoors at your workplace.
- Talk to your co-workers and see if the smoke is bothering other people, too.
- Talk to the person who is smoking, and explain why the smoke is not good for them, and others in the workplace.
- Talk to the employer and explain that they’ve got to enforce the law.
- If you don’t feel comfortable doing these things, contact your local public health department’s tobacco control program and explain the problem. You have the right to file a complaint directly with the health department or other enforcement agency in your area. (The health department people will tell you which agency enforces the no-smoking law.)
- The enforcement agency can fine both the individual smoker and the employer who allows smoking in an indoor workplace. Even if the smoker is not an employee, he or she can be fined. Generally, fines are $100 for the first violation, $200 for the second violation and $500 for the third violation.
- If your employer has had three violations within one year, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. OSHA Penalties can range up to $70,000 depending on the seriousness of the situation.
When to File a Complaint
-
Often on construction
sites, health and safety hazards are present for only a short time. By
the time Cal/OSHA can get to the site, the hazard may not be there. It’s
best if you, your co-workers and your union can get hazards eliminated
by working directly with the employer. Sometimes, however, you should
call Cal/OSHA. You should do this:
- Immediately, if there is a situation that threatens someone’s life.
- When there has been a serious injury on the job.
- When you or your union cannot resolve a health and safety problem with the employer.
- You may file your complaint by phone, in person or by mail. If you phone in your complaint, it’s a good idea to document it by following up in writing. To find your nearest Cal/OSHA office, look in the State Government Pages of the phone book (under “California, State of, Industrial Relations Department, Occupational Safety and Health”).
- You do not have to use your name, but you can if you want. Your name will be kept confidential. If you prefer, ask your union representative to help you file the complaint or file it for you.
- Try to make your complaint complete and convincing. Let Cal/OSHA know how serious the problem is and how many people may be affected. Describe exactly where the problem is located (draw a diagram, if it helps). Explain what has happened, or may happen, as a result. You don’t need to specify which safety regulations you think are being violated.
- You will get the best results if you call and follow up on your complaint. Keep in touch with the Cal/OSHA office.
- Cal/OSHA will review your complaint, assign an inspector and send him or her out to conduct an unannounced inspection. You and your union rep have the right to go with the inspector during the “walkaround” inspection. If Cal/OSHA finds violations of safety regulations, they will order management to fix the problem within a specific period of time. They also may require the employer to pay a fine. If the employer appeals the citation, you and your union rep have a right to participate in the appeal process.
- If you and your employer agree to work together to investigate and solve a health and safety problem, Cal/OSHA can help you. Cal/OSHA has a free Consultation Service that will assist employers or joint labor-management committees.
- Your employer must get a permit from Cal/OSHA for certain construction and demolition jobs. Before granting the permit, Cal/OSHA may meet with the contractor, workers and their union representatives to make sure the job will be done safely.
Under California law, your employer must:
1. LABEL
-
Label all containers
of toxic materials. Proper labels have the name of the chemical, warnings
about the chemical’s hazards and the name and address of the manufacturer.
-
Train every employee
about the toxics used on the job. The training must include information
on the dangerous chemicals you work with, how they can harm you, the symptoms
to watch out for and how to protect yourself.
-
Give you detailed
information on each hazardous chemical you work with, when you ask for
the information. The main source of this information is the MSDS (Material
Safety Data Sheet). Each hazardous chemical should have an MSDS. Your
employer is responsible for getting the MSDS for any hazardous substance
used on the job, and making sure you can look at it. Your training must
explain how to read the MSDS.
Title 8, General Industry Safety Order 5194.
You also have the right to see:
- Records of any company tests done to measure the level of toxic chemicals in the workplace. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Your own medical records if the company keeps them. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Records of any illnesses and injuries that you and your co-workers suffered because of conditions at work. The law requires that an employer keep these records for five years. They’re called “Log 200.” (General Industry Safety Order 3203)
- The employer’s
written plan for preventing illness and injury. This plan must include
a way to identify and solve health and safety problems. (General Industry
Safety Order 3203)
If the employer refuses to give you any of this information, you have the right to file a Cal/OSHA complaint. (California Labor Code §6309)

"What I like about construction is working outside and working with my hands. I can drive through town and say, ‘Hey, I built that.' But it's a dangerous job. Since 1991, in our Local, at least twelve people have been killed. You walk onto a site and you don't know what you're breathing, and you don't know who's working with what." |
Many of the dangers of construction work are obvious. We’re all familiar with safety hazards like unstable scaffolding, falling objects, electric shocks and fires.
Other dangers, especially chemical hazards, are less obvious. Some are hidden. If you’re doing demolition work and breathe in asbestos, you may not notice any effect at the time, but you can develop lung cancer many years later. Other chemicals have both short-term and long-term effects. You may feel sick or dizzy right away when you work with adhesives, paints or other materials that contain solvents. If you work with these solvents for many years, they can damage your liver or nervous system. Coal tar pitch used in roofing and roadwork may irritate your eyes and nose right away and may cause cancer years later.
For construction workers who smoke, the dangers are even greater. When your body has to deal with tobacco smoke as well as the dust and other chemicals at construction sites, your risk of getting cancer, lung disease and other serious illnesses is much higher. And the effects of tobacco use are not limited to the user. Secondhand smoke causes over 53,000 deaths a year among non-smokers.
The purpose of this guide is to give you information you can use to protect yourself. The focus is on the dangers of workplace chemicals and tobacco smoke because you probably already know about the common safety hazards on your job. This guide is part of a health and safety training project that teaches people in apprenticeship and vocational education programs how to recognize chemical hazards on the job, including those from tobacco, and how to plan strategies to make the workplace safer.
Voices From the Workplace
Here are some statements about health and safety that you might hear on the job. You may agree or disagree with each one. The information after each statement will give you some facts.
Respirators and other safety equipment can be uncomfortable and slow you down. But they can also save your life!
-
If toxic chemicals
get into your body — through your skin or lungs — they can cause
serious harm. Some chemicals can affect you right away, causing coughing,
skin irritation, dizziness or other symptoms. Other chemicals cause no
short-term symptoms, so there is no warning that they may cause serious
long-term damage.
-
The nose is not a
reliable way to measure danger. Some chemicals smell bad, but are safe.
Other chemicals have no odor, but are deadly. One example is carbon monoxide
— it’s odorless and invisible, but it can kill.
The employer is responsible for making the workplace safe. But if it isn’t possible to eliminate toxics from the work environment, personal protective equipment is your last line of defense.
If you’re exposed to toxic chemicals at work, the risk to your health will be higher if you also smoke cigarettes or have to breathe someone’s secondhand smoke.
-
Tobacco smoke adds
harmful chemicals to those already in the work environment, increasing
the risk.
• The more toxic exposure you have, the greater your risk. Avoiding toxic chemicals on the job and toxic chemicals in cigarettes are both important.
• The more toxic materials get into your body, the greater your risk. Cigarettes make it easier for other toxic substances to enter the body.
If you smoke, your odds of dying from lung cancer are five times higher than the odds for a non-smoker.
-
Many people can name
someone they know who never worked with cancer-causing chemicals, who
never smoked, but who died of cancer anyway. We also know people who smoke
and live long lives. These cases are exceptions because the Surgeon General
has proven that cigarette smoking causes 83% of all lung cancers and about
30% of other kinds of cancer.
-
Other chemicals (not
just those in cigarettes) also increase your risk of cancer. There is
no doubt that thousands of cancer deaths could be prevented by reducing
workers’ exposure to asbestos, nickel, chromium and other toxics.
Smoking or breathing secondhand smoke increases the risk from toxic chemicals for several reasons.
-
First, smoking means
more chemicals for your body to handle. For example, welding on the construction
site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide,
so you’re getting a much larger dose. Long-term exposure to carbon
monoxide weakens the heart.
Also, when the chemicals in tobacco smoke combine with certain other cancer-causing substances – for example, asbestos – the combination greatly increases the risk of lung cancer. An asbestos worker who doesn’t smoke has 5 times the risk of lung cancer as the general population, while an asbestos worker who smokes has more than 50 times the risk of lung cancer.

How
Construction Work Can Affect Your Health
It’s not always
easy to recognize when health problems are related to your work. Don’t
ignore headaches, frequent colds and coughs, dizziness, skin problems or
other symptoms you think may be related to your job. They may be caused
by chemicals or other conditions at work.
| HEAD Dizziness, headaches. Common causes: Solvents, ozone, noise, eye strain, smoke (including tobacco). |
EYES Red, watery, irritated. Common causes: Cement, wood dust, fiberglass, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
|
| NOSE & THROAT Sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, solvents, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
CHEST & LUNGS Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, lung cancer. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco), solvents. |
|
| SKIN Redness, dryness, rash, itching, skin cancer. Common causes: Solvents, cement, fiberglass, wood dust. |
STOMACH Nausea, vomiting, stomach ache. Common causes: Some wood dust, solvents, long-term lead exposure, job stress. |
|
| NERVOUS SYSTEM Nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, tremors. Common causes: Long-term solvent exposure, longterm lead exposure, job stress. |
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM For men: low sperm count, damage to sperm. For women: irregularities in menstruation, miscarriage, damage to egg or fetus. Common causes: Lead, toluene, some other solvents. |
How Do I Know If the Construction Job I’m Working on Is Hazardous?
To
figure out what the hazards of a particular construction job may be, ask
these questions and check the chart on the following pages. The chart also
suggests important control measures that can be taken to protect workers.1. Is there a lot of dust in the air?
-
The air on construction
sites, especially during demolition work, can contain asbestos,
silica, cement dust, fiberglass and wood dust. Most of these dusts
can irritate your eyes, nose and lungs. Some can cause bronchitis, asthma
and even cancer.
-
Varnishes, wood
sealers, paints, thinners, adhesives and many other construction
materials contain solvents. They can get into your body through your skin
or when you breathe the vapors. Solvents can give you headaches and make
you dizzy. If you work with them for many years, they may damage your
liver or nervous system.
-
Many construction
materials — like adhesives, sealants, waterproofing agents,
floor and wall coverings — are made up of isocyanate (the
raw material for polyurethane) or epoxy resin systems. The chemicals in
these systems can get into your body through your skin, or when you breathe
the mists or vapors. They can irritate your nose, eyes, throat and lungs.
Some people may develop an allergic reaction, similar to asthma.
4
What are other trades doing nearby?-
In construction work,
someone else’s work may produce welding fumes, chemical vapors, asphalt
smoke or other toxic hazards. These can affect everyone in the vicinity.
Be aware of what other trades are doing, and protect yourself.
-
If you or someone
else smokes on the job, you’re being exposed to many more toxic substances.
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals.

|
|
|
| ASBESTOS | Maintenance and demolition work; roof tear-offs. Construction: floor tile, roofing materials, drywall compounds, gaskets, packing materials, electric insulation, corrosion resistant coatings, heat resistant materials, asbestos cement pipe and sheet. | Short-term: Lung irritation (if very high levels). Long-term: Asbestosis (scarring of the lungs); cancer of the lung, stomach, and intestinal tract. Asbestos workers who smoke have over 10 times the cancer risk of asbestos workers who do not smoke. |
| SILICA | Maintenance; remodeling; demolition work; application of fireproof coatings; sandblasting; tunneling. | Long-term: Serious, incurable lung disease (silicosis). |
| CEMENT | Construction and demolition of foundations, sidewalks and floors. | Short-term: Eye, nose, skin and lung irritation. Causes skin rashes and infection. Allergic skin rashes. Long-term: Small decrease in lung function, wheezing, shortness of breath. |
| WOOD DUST | Construction, remodeling and demolition. Sawing: wood, plywood, particle board. | Short-term: Allergic skin rash, asthma, nasal irritation, skin and eye irritation. Long-term: Nasal cancer. |
| FIBERGLASS & OTHER INSULATION MATERIALS | Insulation on pipes, other insulation, air conditioning. | Short-term: Skin, eye, nose and throat irritation; shortness of breath. Long-term: May cause lung cancer. |
| CONTROLS FOR DUSTS | |
| ASBESTOS | Asbestos
removal jobs may be done only by licensed asbestos contractors. Isolate asbestos work and provide exhaust ventilation or dust collecting device. Keep material wet while removing it. Wear special protective clothing and correct respirators. Remove clothing and shower before leaving enclosed area. Post caution signs and labels. Smoking should be prohibited. |
| OTHER DUSTS | Wear

Construction Hazards : Metals - Dusts & Fumes
|
Dusts & Fumes |
|
|
| CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, COPPER, ZINC, MAGNESIUM | Welding; drilling, cutting and sawing pipes; scraping rust or coatings. | Short-term:
Metal dusts can be irritating to skin, nose, eyes and lungs.
Effects of fumes differ depending on metal (see MSDS). Some
metals (such as zinc, copper, and magnesium) cause metal fume fever
(flu-like symptoms with fever, nausea, chills and muscular aches and
pains). Long-term: Depends on metal (see MSDS). Cadmium and chromium can cause cancer. |
| LEAD | Cable splicing, demolition, remodeling, painting, pipefitting, plumbing, roofing, sheetmetal, iron work, welding on lead or surfaces with lead paint or coatings; brass fixtures may release lead. | Short-term:
Effects are very rare. If exposure is high, symptoms similar to long-term
effects may occur. Long-term: Damage to brain and nerves (tremors, muscular weakness, lack of coordination), damage to reproductive systems (men and women), stomach problems, anemia, damage to kidneys. |
| CONTROLS FOR METALS | |
| METAL DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
| METAL FUMES | Avoid
welding on toxic metals or coatings; brush or scrub off coatings first. Natural ventilation is often adequate in open areas. Position yourself so that fumes don’t blow into your face. Use local exhaust ventilation in indoor areas or confined spaces. Wear the correct respirator when ventilation or other controls are not possible. Lead: Shower and change clothes to avoid bringing lead home to your family. |
Construction Hazards : Solvents
|
|
|
|
| BENZENE | Causes leukemia. | These
solvents may be found in: Varnishes Finishes Wood sealers Thinners Paints Adhesives Cleaning and degreasing solutions Other products |
| METHYLENE CHLORIDE | May cause cancer. | |
| TOLUENE | Liver and kidney damage at high levels. May cause birth defects. | |
| TRICHLORO-ETHYLENE | Liver damage. May cause cancer. |
|
|
|
| Most
solvents you work with, including acetone, TCE or other degreasers,
affect your health in similar ways: Short-term: Most organic solvents affect the brain the same way drinking alcohol does. Overexposure causes symptoms resembling drunkenness, including headaches, "feeling high," nausea, dizziness, and at high levels, loss of coordination. Other short-term health effects are eye, nose and throat irritation, and skin rash. Long-term: Repeated, frequent overexposure over months or years may cause long-lasting damage to the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). |
Where
possible, substitute materials that are less toxic. Use ventilation to remove vapors. Wear the correct respirator (refer to MSDS). Wear proper protective clothing, correct gloves, goggles, face shields. No smoking. No open flame nearby. Vapors can build up quickly and become extremely dangerous in confined spaces. Follow OSHA confined space entry procedures where required. (These include pretesting atmosphere before entry; mechanical ventilation of space; respirators; rescue person.) Many fatalities occur in confined spaces. |
Construction Hazards : Other Chemicals
|
|
|
|
| EPOXY RESINS | Impermeable paint, primer for hardwood floors, surface paint and adhesive for concrete walls.. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma. |
| POLYURETHANES (ISOCYANATES) | Seam sealers, polyurethane insulation, electrical wire coatings. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma, other allergic lung diseases. May cause cancer. If workers get sensitized to these chemicals, they will become seriously ill at the slightest exposure. |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Roofing, road work. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Burns, skin irritation,
increased sensitivity to sunlight. Long-term: Cancer of the lungs, skin and other parts of the body. |
| CONTROLS FOR OTHER CHEMICALS | |
| EPOXY RESINS AND POLYURETHANES | When
possible, use one-component products where chemicals are already polymerized.
When spraying, use the correct air-supplied full face respirator (see MSDS). Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear safety goggles and gloves. Get proper training. Never smoke or use an open flame around these chemicals, which are fire and explosion hazards.. DANGER! If you smell it, get out! |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Where
possible, substitute less harmful materials such as coal tar enamel.
Keep melt temperature as low as possible. Install devices to reduce exposure when loading. Keep kettle covers in good shape and closed whenever possible. Wet down old pitch roofs before and during tear-offs. If dust is high, wear the correct respirator. Wear eye protection. Protect the skin, even in hot weather. Launder work clothes often. Wash up before eating, smoking, drinking and going home. If soap and water are not available use waterless cleaner, not gasoline. |

Secondhand Smoke Facts
|
You may be smoking, whether or not you ever put a cigarette in your mouth. If you work where people smoke, you may inhale the equivalent of a pack a day of other people's smoke. Here are some facts about secondhand smoke. |
welding
on the construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also
contains carbon monoxide, so you are getting a much larger dose. Long-term
exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
The Odds Against Tobacco Users’ Health
SMOKING
Smoking causes:
• 90% of lung cancer deaths
• 80% of emphysema and chronic bronchitis deaths
• 30% of cancer deaths
• 20% of heart disease deaths
Each year, over 400,000 Americans die prematurely because of smoking. Smoking kills more Americans each year than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, car crashes, fires and AIDS combined. Smoking also causes impotence.
CHEWING TOBACCO
Smokeless tobacco is not a safe alternative to smoking. Chewing tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, larynx and esophagus. Long-term “chew” users are 50 times more likely to get cancer of the cheek and gum than non-users. Chewing tobacco contains arsenic, cyanide, lead and benzene. It also contains fiberglass and dirt, which cause abrasions on the skin so the tobacco can enter the bloodstream more readily. Chewers get three times as much nicotine as smokers. It can be even harder to quit chew than cigarettes.
QUITTING
In the last 25 years, nearly half of all American adults who ever smoked have quit. Millions and millions of people have quit. But most smokers try several times before they quit permanently. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. The reason people use tobacco is to satisfy their addiction to nicotine. Quitting smoking or chewing tobacco can be at least as difficult as quitting cocaine or heroin.
DON’T GIVE UP
For help in quitting, contact the California Smokers’ Helpline. This program provides free and confidential telephone counseling to help you quit smoking or chewing tobacco.

Combining Tobacco Smoke & Workplace Toxics
When tobacco smoke combines with other toxics in the workplace, there is extra danger to your health.
1. Some combinations ADD TO the odds against your health.
-
If you smoke, your
lungs aren’t as good at keeping other chemicals out. Tobacco smoke
damages your lungs’ ability to protect themselves against other
toxic substances you may inhale.
LUNGS: The odds of construction workers getting bronchitis, asthma or other lung diseases are high because you may work with asphalt, coal tar, treated wood and other lung hazards. Tobacco smoke makes it harder for your lungs to get rid of those chemicals.
Smoking also means more chemicals for your body to handle. Your body may be able to stand small amounts of some chemicals, but not larger amounts. Tobacco smoke can cause higher levels of the same harmful chemicals you’re already exposed to on the job. It also adds other harmful chemicals.
HEART: Welding on a construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide. You may not feel sick with a 5 to 10% level of carbon monoxide in your blood. But a 10 to 20% level can cause headaches and make you abnormally tired. Long-term exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
-
Some toxics can
work together inside your body to strengthen each other’s power
to cause disease. This is called synergy. For example, the odds against
your health multiply when you combine tobacco smoke with asbestos:
Scientists suspect that tobacco smoke and the ferric oxide in welding fumes also combine to multiply your risk of getting cancer.
-
Dangerous chemicals
can enter your body when you breathe them, swallow them, or get them
on your skin. The dust from some chemicals, like lead or cadmium, may
collect on your cigarettes. Then, when you put a cigarette to your lips
and inhale, you are not only taking in tobacco smoke, you are also taking
in extra toxics.
5. Smokers are more likely to have job injuries because they can be distracted by eye irritation, coughing or having only one hand free.

How
Construction Work Can Affect Your Health
It’s not always
easy to recognize when health problems are related to your work. Don’t
ignore headaches, frequent colds and coughs, dizziness, skin problems or
other symptoms you think may be related to your job. They may be caused
by chemicals or other conditions at work.
| HEAD Dizziness, headaches. Common causes: Solvents, ozone, noise, eye strain, smoke (including tobacco). |
EYES Red, watery, irritated. Common causes: Cement, wood dust, fiberglass, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
|
| NOSE & THROAT Sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, solvents, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
CHEST & LUNGS Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, lung cancer. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco), solvents. |
|
| SKIN Redness, dryness, rash, itching, skin cancer. Common causes: Solvents, cement, fiberglass, wood dust. |
STOMACH Nausea, vomiting, stomach ache. Common causes: Some wood dust, solvents, long-term lead exposure, job stress. |
|
| NERVOUS SYSTEM Nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, tremors. Common causes: Long-term solvent exposure, longterm lead exposure, job stress. |
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM For men: low sperm count, damage to sperm. For women: irregularities in menstruation, miscarriage, damage to egg or fetus. Common causes: Lead, toluene, some other solvents. |
How Do I Know If the Construction Job I’m Working on Is Hazardous?
To
figure out what the hazards of a particular construction job may be, ask
these questions and check the chart on the following pages. The chart also
suggests important control measures that can be taken to protect workers.1. Is there a lot of dust in the air?
-
The air on construction
sites, especially during demolition work, can contain asbestos,
silica, cement dust, fiberglass and wood dust. Most of these dusts
can irritate your eyes, nose and lungs. Some can cause bronchitis, asthma
and even cancer.
-
Varnishes, wood
sealers, paints, thinners, adhesives and many other construction
materials contain solvents. They can get into your body through your skin
or when you breathe the vapors. Solvents can give you headaches and make
you dizzy. If you work with them for many years, they may damage your
liver or nervous system.
-
Many construction
materials — like adhesives, sealants, waterproofing agents,
floor and wall coverings — are made up of isocyanate (the
raw material for polyurethane) or epoxy resin systems. The chemicals in
these systems can get into your body through your skin, or when you breathe
the mists or vapors. They can irritate your nose, eyes, throat and lungs.
Some people may develop an allergic reaction, similar to asthma.

What are other trades doing nearby?-
In construction work,
someone else’s work may produce welding fumes, chemical vapors, asphalt
smoke or other toxic hazards. These can affect everyone in the vicinity.
Be aware of what other trades are doing, and protect yourself.
-
If you or someone
else smokes on the job, you’re being exposed to many more toxic substances.
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals.

If you smoke, your
lungs aren’t as good at keeping other chemicals out. Tobacco smoke
damages your lungs’ ability to protect themselves against other
toxic substances you may inhale.
LUNGS: The odds of construction workers getting bronchitis, asthma or other lung diseases are high because you may work with asphalt, coal tar, treated wood and other lung hazards. Tobacco smoke makes it harder for your lungs to get rid of those chemicals.
Smoking also means more chemicals for your body to handle. Your body may be able to stand small amounts of some chemicals, but not larger amounts. Tobacco smoke can cause higher levels of the same harmful chemicals you’re already exposed to on the job. It also adds other harmful chemicals.
HEART: Welding on a construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide. You may not feel sick with a 5 to 10% level of carbon monoxide in your blood. But a 10 to 20% level can cause headaches and make you abnormally tired. Long-term exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
-
Some toxics can
work together inside your body to strengthen each other’s power
to cause disease. This is called synergy. For example, the odds against
your health multiply when you combine tobacco smoke with asbestos:
Scientists suspect that tobacco smoke and the ferric oxide in welding fumes also combine to multiply your risk of getting cancer.
-
Dangerous chemicals
can enter your body when you breathe them, swallow them, or get them
on your skin. The dust from some chemicals, like lead or cadmium, may
collect on your cigarettes. Then, when you put a cigarette to your lips
and inhale, you are not only taking in tobacco smoke, you are also taking
in extra toxics.
5. Smokers are more likely to have job injuries because they can be distracted by eye irritation, coughing or having only one hand free.

“Pues,
si uno lo hace por necesidad, por la familia, pero uno debe pensar
en su salud, que mañana no voy a estar aquí.” “Well, we work out of necessity, for the family. But you have to think about your health — that tomorrow, I might not be here.” |
There are different ways to reduce chemical hazards on the job. The best ways are to stop using the most toxic materials, or to design the work and equipment so that no one is exposed to toxics.
USE SAFER CHEMICALS.
Sometimes you can use a substance that is less toxic. For example, many of the materials you work with contain solvents. Water-based or alcohol-based solvents are usually safer than “chlorinated hydrocarbons” (solvents with chlorine in them) and “aromatic hydrocarbons” (like toluene and xylene). But always check out the hazards of the substitute to make sure it is really less hazardous.
DESIGN THE JOB AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT EXPOSURE TO TOXICS.
It’s better to prevent the hazard from ever reaching a worker than to rely on protective clothing or gear. For example, local exhaust ventilation (a “sucker” that pulls dust or welding fumes away right at the source) gets rid of a toxic substance before anyone has a chance to breathe it.
ENFORCE SAFETY RULES.
Work rules and procedures can help cut down on your exposure to toxics. For example, keeping the workplace clean can limit the amount of dusts in the air and help reduce other safety hazards. Workers should never eat or smoke in the work area. California’s law prohibiting smoking in indoor workplaces eliminates exposure to secondhand smoke. Some employers and local governments also ban smoking in outdoor areas.
GIVE WORKERS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IF NECESSARY.
Goggles, gloves, respirators and other personal protective equipment can help protect you gainst toxic hazards on the job, but they don’t usually protect you completely. They shield you from hazards rather than eliminating them. That’s why you should rely on personal protective equipment only if there is no better way to control the problem.

Use the Right Respirator
Respirators
can be hot and uncomfortable. You don’t want to wear one if you don’t
have to. They also aren’t as effective as some other kinds of protection.
But if there is no way to remove a harmful material from the air you are
breathing (by using a safer chemical, better ventilation or other controls),
you will need to use a respirator to protect yourself. Here are some guidelines
to help you decide if you’re getting the right protection.1. Your employer must set up a respiratory protection program.
-
If you need to use
a respirator on the job, Cal/OSHA requires your employer to set up a “respiratory
protection program.” The program should help you choose the right
respirator, make sure it fits, and get training about how to use it and
take care of it.
-
You can check the
label on the respirator or on its cartridge to find out what hazards it
protects you from. Make sure it is approved by “NIOSH” for protection
against the hazards you’re working with.
- DUST MASKS
protect only against wood dusts and other dusts that are
not very toxic. They don’t protect you against spray
mists or toxic dusts like asbestos, silica or lead. They also will not
protect you against chemical vapors or secondhand smoke. If you use
a dust mask, make sure it has a double strap and a good nose grip. Never
rely on single strap masks.
- DUAL CARTRIDGE
RESPIRATORS
protect against various hazards. These respirators use pairs of filters
or cartridges. Different filters and cartridges protect against different
hazards.
Use the right MECHANICAL FILTER for dusts, metal fumes and mists.
Use the right CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE for toxic gases and vapors from solvents or paints.
Use a COMBINATION RESPIRATOR for all the above — dusts, fumes, mists, gases and vapors. Combination respirators are available for any set of inhalation hazards.
- AIR-SUPPLIED
RESPIRATORS give you fresh air from a tank or through an airline.
Use them when you work in a confined space where there is not enough
oxygen to breathe.
CAUTION: If there is a rip or tear in the mask, it will not protect you from any hazards.
| CAUTION: If you have heart disease or respiratory problems, you should check with your doctor before using a respirator. |
-
No one respirator
will fit everyone. If your respirator does not fit properly on your face,
it will leak. You cannot tell if it fits by how it feels. The law requires
your employer to test the fit to make sure no vapors or dusts can leak
in around the edges.
-
Your respirator must
be kept clean, and the cartridges or filters should be changed regularly.
A respirator with a worn-out cartridge is worse than no respirator at
all. (It’s not protecting you, but it’s making it harder to
breathe.)
| CAUTION: If you have a beard, it is impossible to get a proper fit with most respirators. |
Tips for Taking Action
Once you have decided to try to improve health and safety on the job, you need to do some planning. Here are some tips for coming up with a realistic action plan.
Get support of co-workers.
-
No matter whether
you’re trying to get your employer to supply respirators that fit,
install a ventilation system or establish an outdoor workplace smoking
policy, the first and most important step to take is to get the
support of your co-workers.
-
It takes time to
convince co-workers that it’s worth taking some action to eliminate
a hazard. In many workplaces, people have found it useful to:
- Seek help from
the union (or consider organizing one).
- Take a survey
of the workforce to document the symptoms and illnesses that seem to
be related to each worker’s job.
- Identify other
workers who are concerned.
- Identify resources
for information and help.
- Have a meeting.
- Form a health
and safety committee, or join one that’s already been set up.
- Form a group to meet with the employer, or choose a co-worker the employer will listen to.
-
Some employers take
their responsibility for providing a safe workplace seriously. Once they
understand that conditions on their sites can cause serious health problems,
they will attempt to cooperate in changing them. Some possible approaches
are:
- Explain how serious
the problem is.
- Explain how many
workers’ compensation claims there could be, and point out that
they could be expensive and increase insurance rates.
- Show how production,
absenteeism and morale will improve if hazards are reduced.
- Show the advantages
of a health and safety committee.
- nsurance carrier
about health and safety services the insurer may provide.
- Tell them about Cal/OSHA’s free consultation service for employers.
-
When employers don’t
cooperate, workers still can:
- Seek help from
a union (or consider organizing one).
- File a grievance
(if there’s a contract).
- File a Cal/OSHA
complaint or get someone else to file one.
- File a complaint
with the National Labor Relations Board.
- Tell the press
about the problem. Go public in the community.
- Consider a job action or strike (only as a last resort).
THE RIGHT TO A SAFE WORKPLACE.
-
(California Labor
Code §6400, 6401)
- A written plan
with the name of the person who is responsible for health and safety
on the job.
- Information and
training for workers about possible hazards, given in a language that
workers understand.
- A system for
inspecting the workplace and correcting hazards promptly.
- A system for
workers to report hazards without fear of being fired or punished in
any way.
Both the federal and California Occupational Safety and Health Acts say that an employer must provide a workplace that is free from hazards and meets health and safety standards.
In California, Cal/OSHA regulations also say that your employer must set up an effective injury and illness prevention program (General Industry Safety Order 3203). This regulation requires:
-
(California Labor
Code §6404.5)
- “Indoor”
means four walls and a ceiling. It doesn’t matter whether there
are windows, louvers or sliding doors that open.
- Smoking is permitted in outdoor workplaces, unless an employer or a local ordinance bans it.
- Employers may
provide breakrooms for smokers, as long as they meet ventilation requirements
and as long as employers also provide non-smoking breakrooms.
- If smoking is
allowed in your indoor workplace, you have the right to file a complaint.
Different cities and counties have different enforcement agencies. Check
with your local health department to find the enforcement agency in
your area. If your employer has had three violations within a year,
you can file a complaint with Cal/OSHA.
California law says that no one shall smoke or permit smoking in an enclosed workplace.
-
(California Labor
Code §6398, 6399, 6408)
You have the right to know which toxic materials you work with and how they may harm you. You also have the right to see the results of any tests done to measure chemicals in your workplace. You may see your medical records, and records of injuries and illnesses related to work.
-
(California Labor
Code §6309)
The fastest way to correct a hazard may be to deal with your employer directly. But if this doesn’t work, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. The law allows you to file a complaint confidentially. Cal/OSHA won’t reveal who made the complaint.
-
(California Labor
Code §6310)
An employer may not fire you, or punish you in any way, for using the rights listed here. If your employer discriminates against you for using your health and safety rights, contact your union and/or the nearest office of the State Labor Commissioner.
In some cases, you also have the right to refuse to do an unsafe job without reprisal if there is a “real and apparent hazard.” Before refusing to do hazardous work, always try to get your employer to correct the hazard and/or inform Cal/OSHA about it.
-
(California Labor
Code §6401, 6403)
The law requires that the employer provide you with safety and protective equipment which is “reasonably adequate” to let you do the job safely — like gloves, safety glasses and respirators. You are not responsible for the cost.
-
(California Labor
Code §3600)
If a job hazard injures you or makes you sick, or if it makes a previous health problem get worse, workers’ comp will pay a percentage of your wage while you are recovering. Workers’ comp also pays for related medical expenses. For details on how to collect these benefits, call the toll-free number of the Workers' Compensation Information and Assistance Unit (1-800-736-7401). You may also wish to contact a workers' comp lawyer.
-
(California Labor
Code §9040)
The law requires that employers give free medical tests to anyone who works with asbestos, lead and a few other specific hazardous materials. The law also says that your employer must tell you the results of these tests.
| FINDING LAWS
AND REGULATIONS The California Labor Code is available in most public libraries and on the Internet. Cal/OSHA has many specific regulations, called “standards,” which give more details on the rights described in this section and other safety requirements. These are found in Title 8 of the California Administrative Code, General Industry Safety Orders and Construction Safety Orders. These Cal/OSHA Standards are available on the Internet. |
What If Someone’s Smoking Indoors at the Work Site?
Even though California law prohibits smoking in indoor workplaces, sometimes people still smoke there. Here are some tips about what to do if someone smokes indoors at your workplace.
- Talk to your co-workers and see if the smoke is bothering other people, too.
- Talk to the person who is smoking, and explain why the smoke is not good for them, and others in the workplace.
- Talk to the employer and explain that they’ve got to enforce the law.
- If you don’t feel comfortable doing these things, contact your local public health department’s tobacco control program and explain the problem. You have the right to file a complaint directly with the health department or other enforcement agency in your area. (The health department people will tell you which agency enforces the no-smoking law.)
- The enforcement agency can fine both the individual smoker and the employer who allows smoking in an indoor workplace. Even if the smoker is not an employee, he or she can be fined. Generally, fines are $100 for the first violation, $200 for the second violation and $500 for the third violation.
- If your employer has had three violations within one year, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. OSHA Penalties can range up to $70,000 depending on the seriousness of the situation.
When to File a Complaint
-
Often on construction
sites, health and safety hazards are present for only a short time. By
the time Cal/OSHA can get to the site, the hazard may not be there. It’s
best if you, your co-workers and your union can get hazards eliminated
by working directly with the employer. Sometimes, however, you should
call Cal/OSHA. You should do this:
- Immediately, if there is a situation that threatens someone’s life.
- When there has been a serious injury on the job.
- When you or your union cannot resolve a health and safety problem with the employer.
- You may file your complaint by phone, in person or by mail. If you phone in your complaint, it’s a good idea to document it by following up in writing. To find your nearest Cal/OSHA office, look in the State Government Pages of the phone book (under “California, State of, Industrial Relations Department, Occupational Safety and Health”).
- You do not have to use your name, but you can if you want. Your name will be kept confidential. If you prefer, ask your union representative to help you file the complaint or file it for you.
- Try to make your complaint complete and convincing. Let Cal/OSHA know how serious the problem is and how many people may be affected. Describe exactly where the problem is located (draw a diagram, if it helps). Explain what has happened, or may happen, as a result. You don’t need to specify which safety regulations you think are being violated.
- You will get the best results if you call and follow up on your complaint. Keep in touch with the Cal/OSHA office.
- Cal/OSHA will review your complaint, assign an inspector and send him or her out to conduct an unannounced inspection. You and your union rep have the right to go with the inspector during the “walkaround” inspection. If Cal/OSHA finds violations of safety regulations, they will order management to fix the problem within a specific period of time. They also may require the employer to pay a fine. If the employer appeals the citation, you and your union rep have a right to participate in the appeal process.
- If you and your employer agree to work together to investigate and solve a health and safety problem, Cal/OSHA can help you. Cal/OSHA has a free Consultation Service that will assist employers or joint labor-management committees.
- Your employer must get a permit from Cal/OSHA for certain construction and demolition jobs. Before granting the permit, Cal/OSHA may meet with the contractor, workers and their union representatives to make sure the job will be done safely.
Under California law, your employer must:
1. LABEL
-
Label all containers
of toxic materials. Proper labels have the name of the chemical, warnings
about the chemical’s hazards and the name and address of the manufacturer.
-
Train every employee
about the toxics used on the job. The training must include information
on the dangerous chemicals you work with, how they can harm you, the symptoms
to watch out for and how to protect yourself.
-
Give you detailed
information on each hazardous chemical you work with, when you ask for
the information. The main source of this information is the MSDS (Material
Safety Data Sheet). Each hazardous chemical should have an MSDS. Your
employer is responsible for getting the MSDS for any hazardous substance
used on the job, and making sure you can look at it. Your training must
explain how to read the MSDS.
Title 8, General Industry Safety Order 5194.
You also have the right to see:
- Records of any company tests done to measure the level of toxic chemicals in the workplace. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Your own medical records if the company keeps them. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Records of any illnesses and injuries that you and your co-workers suffered because of conditions at work. The law requires that an employer keep these records for five years. They’re called “Log 200.” (General Industry Safety Order 3203)
- The employer’s
written plan for preventing illness and injury. This plan must include
a way to identify and solve health and safety problems. (General Industry
Safety Order 3203)
If the employer refuses to give you any of this information, you have the right to file a Cal/OSHA complaint. (California Labor Code §6309)

- If your employer has had three violations within one year, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. OSHA Penalties can range up to $70,000 depending on the seriousness of the situation.
When to File a Complaint
-
Often on construction
sites, health and safety hazards are present for only a short time. By
the time Cal/OSHA can get to the site, the hazard may not be there. It’s
best if you, your co-workers and your union can get hazards eliminated
by working directly with the employer. Sometimes, however, you should
call Cal/OSHA. You should do this:
- Immediately, if there is a situation that threatens someone’s life.
- When there has been a serious injury on the job.
- When you or your union cannot resolve a health and safety problem with the employer.
- You may file your complaint by phone, in person or by mail. If you phone in your complaint, it’s a good idea to document it by following up in writing. To find your nearest Cal/OSHA office, look in the State Government Pages of the phone book (under “California, State of, Industrial Relations Department, Occupational Safety and Health”).
- You do not have to use your name, but you can if you want. Your name will be kept confidential. If you prefer, ask your union representative to help you file the complaint or file it for you.
- Try to make your complaint complete and convincing. Let Cal/OSHA know how serious the problem is and how many people may be affected. Describe exactly where the problem is located (draw a diagram, if it helps). Explain what has happened, or may happen, as a result. You don’t need to specify which safety regulations you think are being violated.
- You will get the best results if you call and follow up on your complaint. Keep in touch with the Cal/OSHA office.
- Cal/OSHA will review your complaint, assign an inspector and send him or her out to conduct an unannounced inspection. You and your union rep have the right to go with the inspector during the “walkaround” inspection. If Cal/OSHA finds violations of safety regulations, they will order management to fix the problem within a specific period of time. They also may require the employer to pay a fine. If the employer appeals the citation, you and your union rep have a right to participate in the appeal process.
- If you and your employer agree to work together to investigate and solve a health and safety problem, Cal/OSHA can help you. Cal/OSHA has a free Consultation Service that will assist employers or joint labor-management committees.
- Your employer must get a permit from Cal/OSHA for certain construction and demolition jobs. Before granting the permit, Cal/OSHA may meet with the contractor, workers and their union representatives to make sure the job will be done safely.
Under California law, your employer must:
1. LABEL
-
Label all containers
of toxic materials. Proper labels have the name of the chemical, warnings
about the chemical’s hazards and the name and address of the manufacturer.
-
Train every employee
about the toxics used on the job. The training must include information
on the dangerous chemicals you work with, how they can harm you, the symptoms
to watch out for and how to protect yourself.
-
Give you detailed
information on each hazardous chemical you work with, when you ask for
the information. The main source of this information is the MSDS (Material
Safety Data Sheet). Each hazardous chemical should have an MSDS. Your
employer is responsible for getting the MSDS for any hazardous substance
used on the job, and making sure you can look at it. Your training must
explain how to read the MSDS.
Title 8, General Industry Safety Order 5194.
You also have the right to see:
- Records of any company tests done to measure the level of toxic chemicals in the workplace. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Your own medical records if the company keeps them. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Records of any illnesses and injuries that you and your co-workers suffered because of conditions at work. The law requires that an employer keep these records for five years. They’re called “Log 200.” (General Industry Safety Order 3203)
- The employer’s
written plan for preventing illness and injury. This plan must include
a way to identify and solve health and safety problems. (General Industry
Safety Order 3203)
If the employer refuses to give you any of this information, you have the right to file a Cal/OSHA complaint. (California Labor Code §6309)

"What I like about construction is working outside and working with my hands. I can drive through town and say, ‘Hey, I built that.' But it's a dangerous job. Since 1991, in our Local, at least twelve people have been killed. You walk onto a site and you don't know what you're breathing, and you don't know who's working with what." |
Many of the dangers of construction work are obvious. We’re all familiar with safety hazards like unstable scaffolding, falling objects, electric shocks and fires.
Other dangers, especially chemical hazards, are less obvious. Some are hidden. If you’re doing demolition work and breathe in asbestos, you may not notice any effect at the time, but you can develop lung cancer many years later. Other chemicals have both short-term and long-term effects. You may feel sick or dizzy right away when you work with adhesives, paints or other materials that contain solvents. If you work with these solvents for many years, they can damage your liver or nervous system. Coal tar pitch used in roofing and roadwork may irritate your eyes and nose right away and may cause cancer years later.
For construction workers who smoke, the dangers are even greater. When your body has to deal with tobacco smoke as well as the dust and other chemicals at construction sites, your risk of getting cancer, lung disease and other serious illnesses is much higher. And the effects of tobacco use are not limited to the user. Secondhand smoke causes over 53,000 deaths a year among non-smokers.
The purpose of this guide is to give you information you can use to protect yourself. The focus is on the dangers of workplace chemicals and tobacco smoke because you probably already know about the common safety hazards on your job. This guide is part of a health and safety training project that teaches people in apprenticeship and vocational education programs how to recognize chemical hazards on the job, including those from tobacco, and how to plan strategies to make the workplace safer.
Voices From the Workplace
Here are some statements about health and safety that you might hear on the job. You may agree or disagree with each one. The information after each statement will give you some facts.
Respirators and other safety equipment can be uncomfortable and slow you down. But they can also save your life!
-
If toxic chemicals
get into your body — through your skin or lungs — they can cause
serious harm. Some chemicals can affect you right away, causing coughing,
skin irritation, dizziness or other symptoms. Other chemicals cause no
short-term symptoms, so there is no warning that they may cause serious
long-term damage.
-
The nose is not a
reliable way to measure danger. Some chemicals smell bad, but are safe.
Other chemicals have no odor, but are deadly. One example is carbon monoxide
— it’s odorless and invisible, but it can kill.
The employer is responsible for making the workplace safe. But if it isn’t possible to eliminate toxics from the work environment, personal protective equipment is your last line of defense.
If you’re exposed to toxic chemicals at work, the risk to your health will be higher if you also smoke cigarettes or have to breathe someone’s secondhand smoke.
-
Tobacco smoke adds
harmful chemicals to those already in the work environment, increasing
the risk.
• The more toxic exposure you have, the greater your risk. Avoiding toxic chemicals on the job and toxic chemicals in cigarettes are both important.
• The more toxic materials get into your body, the greater your risk. Cigarettes make it easier for other toxic substances to enter the body.
If you smoke, your odds of dying from lung cancer are five times higher than the odds for a non-smoker.
-
Many people can name
someone they know who never worked with cancer-causing chemicals, who
never smoked, but who died of cancer anyway. We also know people who smoke
and live long lives. These cases are exceptions because the Surgeon General
has proven that cigarette smoking causes 83% of all lung cancers and about
30% of other kinds of cancer.
-
Other chemicals (not
just those in cigarettes) also increase your risk of cancer. There is
no doubt that thousands of cancer deaths could be prevented by reducing
workers’ exposure to asbestos, nickel, chromium and other toxics.
Smoking or breathing secondhand smoke increases the risk from toxic chemicals for several reasons.
-
First, smoking means
more chemicals for your body to handle. For example, welding on the construction
site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide,
so you’re getting a much larger dose. Long-term exposure to carbon
monoxide weakens the heart.
Also, when the chemicals in tobacco smoke combine with certain other cancer-causing substances – for example, asbestos – the combination greatly increases the risk of lung cancer. An asbestos worker who doesn’t smoke has 5 times the risk of lung cancer as the general population, while an asbestos worker who smokes has more than 50 times the risk of lung cancer.

How
Construction Work Can Affect Your Health
It’s not always
easy to recognize when health problems are related to your work. Don’t
ignore headaches, frequent colds and coughs, dizziness, skin problems or
other symptoms you think may be related to your job. They may be caused
by chemicals or other conditions at work.
| HEAD Dizziness, headaches. Common causes: Solvents, ozone, noise, eye strain, smoke (including tobacco). |
EYES Red, watery, irritated. Common causes: Cement, wood dust, fiberglass, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
|
| NOSE & THROAT Sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, solvents, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
CHEST & LUNGS Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, lung cancer. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco), solvents. |
|
| SKIN Redness, dryness, rash, itching, skin cancer. Common causes: Solvents, cement, fiberglass, wood dust. |
STOMACH Nausea, vomiting, stomach ache. Common causes: Some wood dust, solvents, long-term lead exposure, job stress. |
|
| NERVOUS SYSTEM Nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, tremors. Common causes: Long-term solvent exposure, longterm lead exposure, job stress. |
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM For men: low sperm count, damage to sperm. For women: irregularities in menstruation, miscarriage, damage to egg or fetus. Common causes: Lead, toluene, some other solvents. |
How Do I Know If the Construction Job I’m Working on Is Hazardous?
To
figure out what the hazards of a particular construction job may be, ask
these questions and check the chart on the following pages. The chart also
suggests important control measures that can be taken to protect workers.1. Is there a lot of dust in the air?
-
The air on construction
sites, especially during demolition work, can contain asbestos,
silica, cement dust, fiberglass and wood dust. Most of these dusts
can irritate your eyes, nose and lungs. Some can cause bronchitis, asthma
and even cancer.
-
Varnishes, wood
sealers, paints, thinners, adhesives and many other construction
materials contain solvents. They can get into your body through your skin
or when you breathe the vapors. Solvents can give you headaches and make
you dizzy. If you work with them for many years, they may damage your
liver or nervous system.
-
Many construction
materials — like adhesives, sealants, waterproofing agents,
floor and wall coverings — are made up of isocyanate (the
raw material for polyurethane) or epoxy resin systems. The chemicals in
these systems can get into your body through your skin, or when you breathe
the mists or vapors. They can irritate your nose, eyes, throat and lungs.
Some people may develop an allergic reaction, similar to asthma.

What are other trades doing nearby?-
In construction work,
someone else’s work may produce welding fumes, chemical vapors, asphalt
smoke or other toxic hazards. These can affect everyone in the vicinity.
Be aware of what other trades are doing, and protect yourself.
-
If you or someone
else smokes on the job, you’re being exposed to many more toxic substances.
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals.
|
|
|
|
| ASBESTOS | Maintenance and demolition work; roof tear-offs. Construction: floor tile, roofing materials, drywall compounds, gaskets, packing materials, electric insulation, corrosion resistant coatings, heat resistant materials, asbestos cement pipe and sheet. | Short-term: Lung irritation (if very high levels). Long-term: Asbestosis (scarring of the lungs); cancer of the lung, stomach, and intestinal tract. Asbestos workers who smoke have over 10 times the cancer risk of asbestos workers who do not smoke. |
| SILICA | Maintenance; remodeling; demolition work; application of fireproof coatings; sandblasting; tunneling. | Long-term: Serious, incurable lung disease (silicosis). |
| CEMENT | Construction and demolition of foundations, sidewalks and floors. | Short-term: Eye, nose, skin and lung irritation. Causes skin rashes and infection. Allergic skin rashes. Long-term: Small decrease in lung function, wheezing, shortness of breath. |
| WOOD DUST | Construction, remodeling and demolition. Sawing: wood, plywood, particle board. | Short-term: Allergic skin rash, asthma, nasal irritation, skin and eye irritation. Long-term: Nasal cancer. |
| FIBERGLASS & OTHER INSULATION MATERIALS | Insulation on pipes, other insulation, air conditioning. | Short-term: Skin, eye, nose and throat irritation; shortness of breath. Long-term: May cause lung cancer. |
| CONTROLS FOR DUSTS | |
| ASBESTOS | Asbestos
removal jobs may be done only by licensed asbestos contractors. Isolate asbestos work and provide exhaust ventilation or dust collecting device. Keep material wet while removing it. Wear special protective clothing and correct respirators. Remove clothing and shower before leaving enclosed area. Post caution signs and labels. Smoking should be prohibited. |
| OTHER DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
Construction Hazards : Metals - Dusts & Fumes
|
Dusts & Fumes |
|
|
| CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, COPPER, ZINC, MAGNESIUM | Welding; drilling, cutting and sawing pipes; scraping rust or coatings. | Short-term:
Metal dusts can be irritating to skin, nose, eyes and lungs.
Effects of fumes differ depending on metal (see MSDS). Some
metals (such as zinc, copper, and magnesium) cause metal fume fever
(flu-like symptoms with fever, nausea, chills and muscular aches and
pains). Long-term: Depends on metal (see MSDS). Cadmium and chromium can cause cancer. |
| LEAD | Cable splicing, demolition, remodeling, painting, pipefitting, plumbing, roofing, sheetmetal, iron work, welding on lead or surfaces with lead paint or coatings; brass fixtures may release lead. | Short-term:
Effects are very rare. If exposure is high, symptoms similar to long-term
effects may occur. Long-term: Damage to brain and nerves (tremors, muscular weakness, lack of coordination), damage to reproductive systems (men and women), stomach problems, anemia, damage to kidneys. |
| CONTROLS FOR METALS | |
| METAL DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
| METAL FUMES | Avoid
welding on toxic metals or coatings; brush or scrub off coatings first. Natural ventilation is often adequate in open areas. Position yourself so that fumes don’t blow into your face. Use local exhaust ventilation in indoor areas or confined spaces. Wear the correct respirator when ventilation or other controls are not possible. Lead: Shower and change clothes to avoid bringing lead home to your family. |
Construction Hazards : Solvents
|
|
|
|
| BENZENE | Causes leukemia. | These
solvents may be found in: Varnishes Finishes Wood sealers Thinners Paints Adhesives Cleaning and degreasing solutions Other products |
| METHYLENE CHLORIDE | May cause cancer. | |
| TOLUENE | Liver and kidney damage at high levels. May cause birth defects. | |
| TRICHLORO-ETHYLENE | Liver damage. May cause cancer. |
|
|
|
| Most
solvents you work with, including acetone, TCE or other degreasers,
affect your health in similar ways: Short-term: Most organic solvents affect the brain the same way drinking alcohol does. Overexposure causes symptoms resembling drunkenness, including headaches, "feeling high," nausea, dizziness, and at high levels, loss of coordination. Other short-term health effects are eye, nose and throat irritation, and skin rash. Long-term: Repeated, frequent overexposure over months or years may cause long-lasting damage to the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). |
Where
possible, substitute materials that are less toxic. Use ventilation to remove vapors. Wear the correct respirator (refer to MSDS). Wear proper protective clothing, correct gloves, goggles, face shields. No smoking. No open flame nearby. Vapors can build up quickly and become extremely dangerous in confined spaces. Follow OSHA confined space entry procedures where required. (These include pretesting atmosphere before entry; mechanical ventilation of space; respirators; rescue person.) Many fatalities occur in confined spaces. |
Construction Hazards : Other Chemicals
|
|
|
|
| EPOXY RESINS | Impermeable paint, primer for hardwood floors, surface paint and adhesive for concrete walls.. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma. |
| POLYURETHANES (ISOCYANATES) | Seam sealers, polyurethane insulation, electrical wire coatings. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma, other allergic lung diseases. May cause cancer. If workers get sensitized to these chemicals, they will become seriously ill at the slightest exposure. |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Roofing, road work. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Burns, skin irritation,
increased sensitivity to sunlight. Long-term: Cancer of the lungs, skin and other parts of the body. |
| CONTROLS FOR OTHER CHEMICALS | |
| EPOXY RESINS AND POLYURETHANES | When
possible, use one-component products where chemicals are already polymerized.
When spraying, use the correct air-supplied full face respirator (see MSDS). Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear safety goggles and gloves. Get proper training. Never smoke or use an open flame around these chemicals, which are fire and explosion hazards.. DANGER! If you smell it, get out! |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Where
possible, substitute less harmful materials such as coal tar enamel.
Keep melt temperature as low as possible. Install devices to reduce exposure when loading. Keep kettle covers in good shape and closed whenever possible. Wet down old pitch roofs before and during tear-offs. If dust is high, wear the correct respirator. Wear eye protection. Protect the skin, even in hot weather. Launder work clothes often. Wash up before eating, smoking, drinking and going home. If soap and water are not available use waterless cleaner, not gasoline. |
Some
of the Chemicals in Cigarette SmokeThere are over 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. More than 50 of them are known to be carcinogens (to cause cancer). Many of the chemicals in cigarette smoke are also found in the workplace and regulated by OSHA. Some are found in common household products. This is a small sample of the toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke.

Secondhand Smoke Facts
|
You may be smoking, whether or not you ever put a cigarette in your mouth. If you work where people smoke, you may inhale the equivalent of a pack a day of other people's smoke. Here are some facts about secondhand smoke. |
welding
on the construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also
contains carbon monoxide, so you are getting a much larger dose. Long-term
exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
The Odds Against Tobacco Users’ Health
SMOKING
Smoking causes:
• 90% of lung cancer deaths
• 80% of emphysema and chronic bronchitis deaths
• 30% of cancer deaths
• 20% of heart disease deaths
Each year, over 400,000 Americans die prematurely because of smoking. Smoking kills more Americans each year than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, car crashes, fires and AIDS combined. Smoking also causes impotence.
CHEWING TOBACCO
Smokeless tobacco is not a safe alternative to smoking. Chewing tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, larynx and esophagus. Long-term “chew” users are 50 times more likely to get cancer of the cheek and gum than non-users. Chewing tobacco contains arsenic, cyanide, lead and benzene. It also contains fiberglass and dirt, which cause abrasions on the skin so the tobacco can enter the bloodstream more readily. Chewers get three times as much nicotine as smokers. It can be even harder to quit chew than cigarettes.
QUITTING
In the last 25 years, nearly half of all American adults who ever smoked have quit. Millions and millions of people have quit. But most smokers try several times before they quit permanently. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. The reason people use tobacco is to satisfy their addiction to nicotine. Quitting smoking or chewing tobacco can be at least as difficult as quitting cocaine or heroin.
DON’T GIVE UP
For help in quitting, contact the California Smokers’ Helpline. This program provides free and confidential telephone counseling to help you quit smoking or chewing tobacco.

Combining Tobacco Smoke & Workplace Toxics
When tobacco smoke combines with other toxics in the workplace, there is extra danger to your health.
1. Some combinations ADD TO the odds against your health.
-
If you smoke, your
lungs aren’t as good at keeping other chemicals out. Tobacco smoke
damages your lungs’ ability to protect themselves against other
toxic substances you may inhale.
LUNGS: The odds of construction workers getting bronchitis, asthma or other lung diseases are high because you may work with asphalt, coal tar, treated wood and other lung hazards. Tobacco smoke makes it harder for your lungs to get rid of those chemicals.
Smoking also means more chemicals for your body to handle. Your body may be able to stand small amounts of some chemicals, but not larger amounts. Tobacco smoke can cause higher levels of the same harmful chemicals you’re already exposed to on the job. It also adds other harmful chemicals.
HEART: Welding on a construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide. You may not feel sick with a 5 to 10% level of carbon monoxide in your blood. But a 10 to 20% level can cause headaches and make you abnormally tired. Long-term exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
-
Some toxics can
work together inside your body to strengthen each other’s power
to cause disease. This is called synergy. For example, the odds against
your health multiply when you combine tobacco smoke with asbestos:
Scientists suspect that tobacco smoke and the ferric oxide in welding fumes also combine to multiply your risk of getting cancer.
-
Dangerous chemicals
can enter your body when you breathe them, swallow them, or get them
on your skin. The dust from some chemicals, like lead or cadmium, may
collect on your cigarettes. Then, when you put a cigarette to your lips
and inhale, you are not only taking in tobacco smoke, you are also taking
in extra toxics.
5. Smokers are more likely to have job injuries because they can be distracted by eye irritation, coughing or having only one hand free.

How
Construction Work Can Affect Your Health
It’s not always
easy to recognize when health problems are related to your work. Don’t
ignore headaches, frequent colds and coughs, dizziness, skin problems or
other symptoms you think may be related to your job. They may be caused
by chemicals or other conditions at work.
| HEAD Dizziness, headaches. Common causes: Solvents, ozone, noise, eye strain, smoke (including tobacco). |
EYES Red, watery, irritated. Common causes: Cement, wood dust, fiberglass, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
|
| NOSE & THROAT Sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, solvents, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
CHEST & LUNGS Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, lung cancer. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco), solvents. |
|
| SKIN Redness, dryness, rash, itching, skin cancer. Common causes: Solvents, cement, fiberglass, wood dust. |
STOMACH Nausea, vomiting, stomach ache. Common causes: Some wood dust, solvents, long-term lead exposure, job stress. |
|
| NERVOUS SYSTEM Nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, tremors. Common causes: Long-term solvent exposure, longterm lead exposure, job stress. |
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM For men: low sperm count, damage to sperm. For women: irregularities in menstruation, miscarriage, damage to egg or fetus. Common causes: Lead, toluene, some other solvents. |
How Do I Know If the Construction Job I’m Working on Is Hazardous?
To
figure out what the hazards of a particular construction job may be, ask
these questions and check the chart on the following pages. The chart also
suggests important control measures that can be taken to protect workers.1. Is there a lot of dust in the air?
-
The air on construction
sites, especially during demolition work, can contain asbestos,
silica, cement dust, fiberglass and wood dust. Most of these dusts
can irritate your eyes, nose and lungs. Some can cause bronchitis, asthma
and even cancer.
-
Varnishes, wood
sealers, paints, thinners, adhesives and many other construction
materials contain solvents. They can get into your body through your skin
or when you breathe the vapors. Solvents can give you headaches and make
you dizzy. If you work with them for many years, they may damage your
liver or nervous system.
-
Many construction
materials — like adhesives, sealants, waterproofing agents,
floor and wall coverings — are made up of isocyanate (the
raw material for polyurethane) or epoxy resin systems. The chemicals in
these systems can get into your body through your skin, or when you breathe
the mists or vapors. They can irritate your nose, eyes, throat and lungs.
Some people may develop an allergic reaction, similar to asthma.

What are other trades doing nearby?-
In construction work,
someone else’s work may produce welding fumes, chemical vapors, asphalt
smoke or other toxic hazards. These can affect everyone in the vicinity.
Be aware of what other trades are doing, and protect yourself.
-
If you or someone
else smokes on the job, you’re being exposed to many more toxic substances.
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals.

|
|
| ASBESTOS | Maintenance and demolition work; roof tear-offs. Construction: floor tile, roofing materials, drywall compounds, gaskets, packing materials, electric insulation, corrosion resistant coatings, heat resistant materials, asbestos cement pipe and sheet. | Short-term: Lung irritation (if very high levels). Long-term: Asbestosis (scarring of the lungs); cancer of the lung, stomach, and intestinal tract. Asbestos workers who smoke have over 10 times the cancer risk of asbestos workers who do not smoke. |
| SILICA | Maintenance; remodeling; demolition work; application of fireproof coatings; sandblasting; tunneling. | Long-term: Serious, incurable lung disease (silicosis). |
| CEMENT | Construction and demolition of foundations, sidewalks and floors. | Short-term: Eye, nose, skin and lung irritation. Causes skin rashes and infection. Allergic skin rashes. Long-term: Small decrease in lung function, wheezing, shortness of breath. |
| WOOD DUST | Construction, remodeling and demolition. Sawing: wood, plywood, particle board. | Short-term: Allergic skin rash, asthma, nasal irritation, skin and eye irritation. Long-term: Nasal cancer. |
| FIBERGLASS & OTHER INSULATION MATERIALS | Insulation on pipes, other insulation, air conditioning. | Short-term: Skin, eye, nose and throat irritation; shortness of breath. Long-term: May cause lung cancer. |
| CONTROLS FOR DUSTS | |
| ASBESTOS | Asbestos
removal jobs may be done only by licensed asbestos contractors. Isolate asbestos work and provide exhaust ventilation or dust collecting device. Keep material wet while removing it. Wear special protective clothing and correct respirators. Remove clothing and shower before leaving enclosed area. Post caution signs and labels. Smoking should be prohibited. |
| OTHER DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
Construction Hazards : Metals - Dusts & Fumes
|
Dusts & Fumes |
|
|
| CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, COPPER, ZINC, MAGNESIUM | Welding; drilling, cutting and sawing pipes; scraping rust or coatings. | Short-term:
Metal dusts can be irritating to skin, nose, eyes and lungs.
Effects of fumes differ depending on metal (see MSDS). Some
metals (such as zinc, copper, and magnesium) cause metal fume fever
(flu-like symptoms with fever, nausea, chills and muscular aches and
pains). Long-term: Depends on metal (see MSDS). Cadmium and chromium can cause cancer. |
| LEAD | Cable splicing, demolition, remodeling, painting, pipefitting, plumbing, roofing, sheetmetal, iron work, welding on lead or surfaces with lead paint or coatings; brass fixtures may release lead. | Short-term:
Effects are very rare. If exposure is high, symptoms similar to long-term
effects may occur. Long-term: Damage to brain and nerves (tremors, muscular weakness, lack of coordination), damage to reproductive systems (men and women), stomach problems, anemia, damage to kidneys. |
| CONTROLS FOR METALS | |
| METAL DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
| METAL FUMES | Avoid
welding on toxic metals or coatings; brush or scrub off coatings first. Natural ventilation is often adequate in open areas. Position yourself so that fumes don’t blow into your face. Use local exhaust ventilation in indoor areas or confined spaces. Wear the correct respirator when ventilation or other controls are not possible. Lead: Shower and change clothes to avoid bringing lead home to your family. |
Construction Hazards : Solvents
|
|
|
|
| BENZENE | Causes leukemia. | These
solvents may be found in: Varnishes Finishes Wood sealers Thinners Paints Adhesives Cleaning and degreasing solutions Other products |
| METHYLENE CHLORIDE | May cause cancer. | |
| TOLUENE | Liver and kidney damage at high levels. May cause birth defects. | |
| TRICHLORO-ETHYLENE | Liver damage. May cause cancer. |
|
|
|
| Most
solvents you work with, including acetone, TCE or other degreasers,
affect your health in similar ways: Short-term: Most organic solvents affect the brain the same way drinking alcohol does. Overexposure causes symptoms resembling drunkenness, including headaches, "feeling high," nausea, dizziness, and at high levels, loss of coordination. Other short-term health effects are eye, nose and throat irritation, and skin rash. Long-term: Repeated, frequent overexposure over months or years may cause long-lasting damage to the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). |
Where
possible, substitute materials that are less toxic. Use ventilation to remove vapors. Wear the correct respirator (refer to MSDS). Wear proper protective clothing, correct gloves, goggles, face shields. No smoking. No open flame nearby. Vapors can build up quickly and become extremely dangerous in confined spaces. Follow OSHA confined space entry procedures where required. (These include pretesting atmosphere before entry; mechanical ventilation of space; respirators; rescue person.) Many fatalities occur in confined spaces. |
Construction Hazards : Other Chemicals
|
|
|
|
| EPOXY RESINS | Impermeable paint, primer for hardwood floors, surface paint and adhesive for concrete walls.. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma. |
| POLYURETHANES (ISOCYANATES) | Seam sealers, polyurethane insulation, electrical wire coatings. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma, other allergic lung diseases. May cause cancer. If workers get sensitized to these chemicals, they will become seriously ill at the slightest exposure. |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Roofing, road work. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Burns, skin irritation,
increased sensitivity to sunlight. Long-term: Cancer of the lungs, skin and other parts of the body. |
| CONTROLS FOR OTHER CHEMICALS | |
| EPOXY RESINS AND POLYURETHANES | When
possible, use one-component products where chemicals are already polymerized.
When spraying, use the correct air-supplied full face respirator (see MSDS). Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear safety goggles and gloves. Get proper training. Never smoke or use an open flame around these chemicals, which are fire and explosion hazards.. DANGER! If you smell it, get out! |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Where
possible, substitute less harmful materials such as coal tar enamel.
Keep melt temperature as low as possible. Install devices to reduce exposure when loading. Keep kettle covers in good shape and closed whenever possible. Wet down old pitch roofs before and during tear-offs. If dust is high, wear the correct respirator. Wear eye protection. Protect the skin, even in hot weather. Launder work clothes often. Wash up before eating, smoking, drinking and going home. If soap and water are not available use waterless cleaner, not gasoline. |
Some
of the Chemicals in Cigarette SmokeThere are over 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. More than 50 of them are known to be carcinogens (to cause cancer).

Secondhand Smoke Facts
|
You may be smoking, whether or not you ever put a cigarette in your mouth. If you work where people smoke, you may inhale the equivalent of a pack a day of other people's smoke. Here are some facts about secondhand smoke. |
welding
on the construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also
contains carbon monoxide, so you are getting a much larger dose. Long-term
exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
The Odds Against Tobacco Users’ Health
SMOKING
Smoking causes:
• 90% of lung cancer deaths
• 80% of emphysema and chronic bronchitis deaths
• 30% of cancer deaths
• 20% of heart disease deaths
Each year, over 400,000 Americans die prematurely because of smoking. Smoking kills more Americans each year than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, car crashes, fires and AIDS combined. Smoking also causes impotence.
CHEWING TOBACCO
Smokeless tobacco is not a safe alternative to smoking. Chewing tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, larynx and esophagus. Long-term “chew” users are 50 times more likely to get cancer of the cheek and gum than non-users. Chewing tobacco contains arsenic, cyanide, lead and benzene. It also contains fiberglass and dirt, which cause abrasions on the skin so the tobacco can enter the bloodstream more readily. Chewers get three times as much nicotine as smokers. It can be even harder to quit chew than cigarettes.
QUITTING
In the last 25 years, nearly half of all American adults who ever smoked have quit. Millions and millions of people have quit. But most smokers try several times before they quit permanently. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. The reason people use tobacco is to satisfy their addiction to nicotine. Quitting smoking or chewing tobacco can be at least as difficult as quitting cocaine or heroin.
DON’T GIVE UP

Combining Tobacco Smoke & Workplace Toxics
When tobacco smoke combines with other toxics in the workplace, there is extra danger to your health.
1. Some combinations ADD TO the odds against your health.
-
If you smoke, your
lungs aren’t as good at keeping other chemicals out. Tobacco smoke
damages your lungs’ ability to protect themselves against other
toxic substances you may inhale.
LUNGS: The odds of construction workers getting bronchitis, asthma or other lung diseases are high because you may work with asphalt, coal tar, treated wood and other lung hazards. Tobacco smoke makes it harder for your lungs to get rid of those chemicals.
Smoking also means more chemicals for your body to handle. Your body may be able to stand small amounts of some chemicals, but not larger amounts. Tobacco smoke can cause higher levels of the same harmful chemicals you’re already exposed to on the job. It also adds other harmful chemicals.
HEART: Welding on a construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide. You may not feel sick with a 5 to 10% level of carbon monoxide in your blood. But a 10 to 20% level can cause headaches and make you abnormally tired. Long-term exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
-
Some toxics can
work together inside your body to strengthen each other’s power
to cause disease. This is called synergy. For example, the odds against
your health multiply when you combine tobacco smoke with asbestos:
Scientists suspect that tobacco smoke and the ferric oxide in welding fumes also combine to multiply your risk of getting cancer.
-
Dangerous chemicals
can enter your body when you breathe them, swallow them, or get them
on your skin. The dust from some chemicals, like lead or cadmium, may
collect on your cigarettes. Then, when you put a cigarette to your lips
and inhale, you are not only taking in tobacco smoke, you are also taking
in extra toxics.
5. Smokers are more likely to have job injuries because they can be distracted by eye irritation, coughing or having only one hand free.

“Pues,

en su salud, que mañana no voy a estar aquí.” “Well, we work out of necessity, for the family. But you have to think about your health — that tomorrow, I might not be here.” |
There are different ways to reduce chemical hazards on the job. The best ways are to stop using the most toxic materials, or to design the work and equipment so that no one is exposed to toxics.
USE SAFER CHEMICALS.
Sometimes you can use a substance that is less toxic. For example, many of the materials you work with contain solvents. Water-based or alcohol-based solvents are usually safer than “chlorinated hydrocarbons” (solvents with chlorine in them) and “aromatic hydrocarbons” (like toluene and xylene). But always check out the hazards of the substitute to make sure it is really less hazardous.
DESIGN THE JOB AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT EXPOSURE TO TOXICS.
It’s better to prevent the hazard from ever reaching a worker than to rely on protective clothing or gear. For example, local exhaust ventilation (a “sucker” that pulls dust or welding fumes away right at the source) gets rid of a toxic substance before anyone has a chance to breathe it.
ENFORCE SAFETY RULES.
Work rules and procedures can help cut down on your exposure to toxics. For example, keeping the workplace clean can limit the amount of dusts in the air and help reduce other safety hazards. Workers should never eat or smoke in the work area. California’s law prohibiting smoking in indoor workplaces eliminates exposure to secondhand smoke. Some employers and local governments also ban smoking in outdoor areas.
GIVE WORKERS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IF NECESSARY.
Goggles, gloves, respirators and other personal protective equipment can help protect you gainst toxic hazards on the job, but they don’t usually protect you completely. They shield you from hazards rather than eliminating them. That’s why you should rely on personal protective equipment only if there is no better way to control the problem.

Use the Right Respirator
Respirators
can be hot and uncomfortable. You don’t want to wear one if you don’t
have to. They also aren’t as effective as some other kinds of protection.
But if there is no way to remove a harmful material from the air you are
breathing (by using a safer chemical, better ventilation or other controls),
you will need to use a respirator to protect yourself. Here are some guidelines
to help you decide if you’re getting the right protection.1. Your employer must set up a respiratory protection program.
-
If you need to use
a respirator on the job, Cal/OSHA requires your employer to set up a “respiratory
protection program.” The program should help you choose the right
respirator, make sure it fits, and get training about how to use it and
take care of it.
-
You can check the
label on the respirator or on its cartridge to find out what hazards it
protects you from. Make sure it is approved by “NIOSH” for protection
against the hazards you’re working with.
- DUST MASKS
protect only against wood dusts and other dusts that are
not very toxic. They don’t protect you against spray
mists or toxic dusts like asbestos, silica or lead. They also will not
protect you against chemical vapors or secondhand smoke. If you use
a dust mask, make sure it has a double strap and a good nose grip. Never
rely on single strap masks.
- DUAL CARTRIDGE
RESPIRATORS
protect against various hazards. These respirators use pairs of filters
or cartridges. Different filters and cartridges protect against different
hazards.
Use the right MECHANICAL FILTER for dusts, metal fumes and mists.
Use the right CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE for toxic gases and vapors from solvents or paints.
Use a COMBINATION RESPIRATOR for all the above — dusts, fumes, mists, gases and vapors. Combination respirators are available for any set of inhalation hazards.
- AIR-SUPPLIED
RESPIRATORS give you fresh air from a tank or through an airline.
Use them when you work in a confined space where there is not enough
oxygen to breathe.
CAUTION: If there is a rip or tear in the mask, it will not protect you from any hazards.
| CAUTION: If you have heart disease or respiratory problems, you should check with your doctor before using a respirator. |
-
No one respirator
will fit everyone. If your respirator does not fit properly on your face,
it will leak. You cannot tell if it fits by how it feels. The law requires
your employer to test the fit to make sure no vapors or dusts can leak
in around the edges.
-
Your respirator must
be kept clean, and the cartridges or filters should be changed regularly.
A respirator with a worn-out cartridge is worse than no respirator at
all. (It’s not protecting you, but it’s making it harder to
breathe.)
| CAUTION: If you have a beard, it is impossible to get a proper fit with most respirators. |
Tips for Taking Action
Once you have decided to try to improve health and safety on the job, you need to do some planning. Here are some tips for coming up with a realistic action plan.
Get support of co-workers.
-
No matter whether
you’re trying to get your employer to supply respirators that fit,
install a ventilation system or establish an outdoor workplace smoking
policy, the first and most important step to take is to get the
support of your co-workers.
-
It takes time to
convince co-workers that it’s worth taking some action to eliminate
a hazard. In many workplaces, people have found it useful to:
- Seek help from
the union (or consider organizing one).
- Take a survey
of the workforce to document the symptoms and illnesses that seem to
be related to each worker’s job.
- Identify other
workers who are concerned.
- Identify resources
for information and help.
- Have a meeting.
- Form a health
and safety committee, or join one that’s already been set up.
- Form a group to meet with the employer, or choose a co-worker the employer will listen to.
-
Some employers take
their responsibility for providing a safe workplace seriously. Once they
understand that conditions on their sites can cause serious health problems,
they will attempt to cooperate in changing them. Some possible approaches
are:
- Explain how serious
the problem is.
- Explain how many
workers’ compensation claims there could be, and point out that
they could be expensive and increase insurance rates.
- Show how production,
absenteeism and morale will improve if hazards are reduced.
- Show the advantages
of a health and safety committee.
- nsurance carrier
about health and safety services the insurer may provide.
- Tell them about Cal/OSHA’s free consultation service for employers.
-
When employers don’t
cooperate, workers still can:
- Seek help from
a union (or consider organizing one).
- File a grievance
(if there’s a contract).
- File a Cal/OSHA
complaint or get someone else to file one.
- File a complaint
with the National Labor Relations Board.
- Tell the press
about the problem. Go public in the community.
- Consider a job action or strike (only as a last resort).
THE RIGHT TO A SAFE WORKPLACE.
-
(California Labor
Code §6400, 6401)
- A written plan
with the name of the person who is responsible for health and safety
on the job.
- Information and
training for workers about possible hazards, given in a language that
workers understand.
- A system for
inspecting the workplace and correcting hazards promptly.
- A system for
workers to report hazards without fear of being fired or punished in
any way.
Both the federal and California Occupational Safety and Health Acts say that an employer must provide a workplace that is free from hazards and meets health and safety standards.
In California, Cal/OSHA regulations also say that your employer must set up an effective injury and illness prevention program (General Industry Safety Order 3203). This regulation requires:
-
(California Labor
Code §6404.5)
- “Indoor”
means four walls and a ceiling. It doesn’t matter whether there
are windows, louvers or sliding doors that open.
- Smoking is permitted in outdoor workplaces, unless an employer or a local ordinance bans it.
- Employers may
provide breakrooms for smokers, as long as they meet ventilation requirements
and as long as employers also provide non-smoking breakrooms.
- If smoking is
allowed in your indoor workplace, you have the right to file a complaint.
Different cities and counties have different enforcement agencies. Check
with your local health department to find the enforcement agency in
your area. If your employer has had three violations within a year,
you can file a complaint with Cal/OSHA.
California law says that no one shall smoke or permit smoking in an enclosed workplace.
-
(California Labor
Code §6398, 6399, 6408)
You have the right to know which toxic materials you work with and how they may harm you. You also have the right to see the results of any tests done to measure chemicals in your workplace. You may see your medical records, and records of injuries and illnesses related to work.
-
(California Labor
Code §6309)
The fastest way to correct a hazard may be to deal with your employer directly. But if this doesn’t work, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. The law allows you to file a complaint confidentially. Cal/OSHA won’t reveal who made the complaint.
-
(California Labor
Code §6310)
An employer may not fire you, or punish you in any way, for using the rights listed here. If your employer discriminates against you for using your health and safety rights, contact your union and/or the nearest office of the State Labor Commissioner.
In some cases, you also have the right to refuse to do an unsafe job without reprisal if there is a “real and apparent hazard.” Before refusing to do hazardous work, always try to get your employer to correct the hazard and/or inform Cal/OSHA about it.
-
(California Labor
Code §6401, 6403)
The law requires that the employer provide you with safety and protective equipment which is “reasonably adequate” to let you do the job safely — like gloves, safety glasses and respirators. You are not responsible for the cost.
-
(California Labor
Code §3600)
If a job hazard injures you or makes you sick, or if it makes a previous health problem get worse, workers’ comp will pay a percentage of your wage while you are recovering. Workers’ comp also pays for related medical expenses. For details on how to collect these benefits, call the toll-free number of the Workers' Compensation Information and Assistance Unit (1-800-736-7401). You may also wish to contact a workers' comp lawyer.
-
(California Labor
Code §9040)
The law requires that employers give free medical tests to anyone who works with asbestos, lead and a few other specific hazardous materials. The law also says that your employer must tell you the results of these tests.
| FINDING LAWS
AND REGULATIONS The California Labor Code is available in most public libraries and on the Internet. Cal/OSHA has many specific regulations, called “standards,” which give more details on the rights described in this section and other safety requirements.

What If Someone’s Smoking Indoors at the Work Site?
Even though California law prohibits smoking in indoor workplaces, sometimes people still smoke there. Here are some tips about what to do if someone smokes indoors at your workplace.
- Talk to your co-workers and see if the smoke is bothering other people, too.
- Talk to the person who is smoking, and explain why the smoke is not good for them, and others in the workplace.
- Talk to the employer and explain that they’ve got to enforce the law.
- If you don’t feel comfortable doing these things, contact your local public health department’s tobacco control program and explain the problem. You have the right to file a complaint directly with the health department or other enforcement agency in your area. (The health department people will tell you which agency enforces the no-smoking law.)
- The enforcement agency can fine both the individual smoker and the employer who allows smoking in an indoor workplace. Even if the smoker is not an employee, he or she can be fined. Generally, fines are $100 for the first violation, $200 for the second violation and $500 for the third violation.
- If your employer has had three violations within one year, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. OSHA Penalties can range up to $70,000 depending on the seriousness of the situation.
When to File a Complaint
-
Often on construction
sites, health and safety hazards are present for only a short time. By
the time Cal/OSHA can get to the site, the hazard may not be there. It’s
best if you, your co-workers and your union can get hazards eliminated
by working directly with the employer. Sometimes, however, you should
call Cal/OSHA. You should do this:
- Immediately, if there is a situation that threatens someone’s life.
- When there has been a serious injury on the job.
- When you or your union cannot resolve a health and safety problem with the employer.
- You may file your complaint by phone, in person or by mail. If you phone in your complaint, it’s a good idea to document it by following up in writing. To find your nearest Cal/OSHA office, look in the State Government Pages of the phone book (under “California, State of, Industrial Relations Department, Occupational Safety and Health”).
- You do not have to use your name, but you can if you want. Your name will be kept confidential. If you prefer, ask your union representative to help you file the complaint or file it for you.
- Try to make your complaint complete and convincing. Let Cal/OSHA know how serious the problem is and how many people may be affected. Describe exactly where the problem is located (draw a diagram, if it helps). Explain what has happened, or may happen, as a result. You don’t need to specify which safety regulations you think are being violated.
- You will get the best results if you call and follow up on your complaint. Keep in touch with the Cal/OSHA office.
- Cal/OSHA will review your complaint, assign an inspector and send him or her out to conduct an unannounced inspection. You and your union rep have the right to go with the inspector during the “walkaround” inspection. If Cal/OSHA finds violations of safety regulations, they will order management to fix the problem within a specific period of time. They also may require the employer to pay a fine. If the employer appeals the citation, you and your union rep have a right to participate in the appeal process.
- If you and your employer agree to work together to investigate and solve a health and safety problem, Cal/OSHA can help you. Cal/OSHA has a free Consultation Service that will assist employers or joint labor-management committees.
- Your employer must get a permit from Cal/OSHA for certain construction and demolition jobs. Before granting the permit, Cal/OSHA may meet with the contractor, workers and their union representatives to make sure the job will be done safely.
Under California law, your employer must:
1. LABEL
-
Label all containers
of toxic materials. Proper labels have the name of the chemical, warnings
about the chemical’s hazards and the name and address of the manufacturer.
-
Train every employee
about the toxics used on the job. The training must include information
on the dangerous chemicals you work with, how they can harm you, the symptoms
to watch out for and how to protect yourself.
-
Give you detailed
information on each hazardous chemical you work with, when you ask for
the information. The main source of this information is the MSDS (Material
Safety Data Sheet). Each hazardous chemical should have an MSDS. Your
employer is responsible for getting the MSDS for any hazardous substance
used on the job, and making sure you can look at it. Your training must
explain how to read the MSDS.
Title 8, General Industry Safety Order 5194.
You also have the right to see:
- Records of any company tests done to measure the level of toxic chemicals in the workplace. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Your own medical records if the company keeps them. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Records of any illnesses and injuries that you and your co-workers suffered because of conditions at work. The law requires that an employer keep these records for five years. They’re called “Log 200.” (General Industry Safety Order 3203)
- The employer’s
written plan for preventing illness and injury. This plan must include
a way to identify and solve health and safety problems. (General Industry
Safety Order 3203)
If the employer refuses to give you any of this information, you have the right to file a Cal/OSHA complaint. (California Labor Code §6309)

“Pues,
si uno lo hace por necesidad, por la familia, pero uno debe pensar
en su salud, que mañana no voy a estar aquí.” “Well, we work out of necessity, for the family. But you have to think about your health — that tomorrow, I might not be here.” |
There are different ways to reduce chemical hazards on the job. The best ways are to stop using the most toxic materials, or to design the work and equipment so that no one is exposed to toxics.
USE SAFER CHEMICALS.
Sometimes you can use a substance that is less toxic. For example, many of the materials you work with contain solvents. Water-based or alcohol-based solvents are usually safer than “chlorinated hydrocarbons” (solvents with chlorine in them) and “aromatic hydrocarbons” (like toluene and xylene). But always check out the hazards of the substitute to make sure it is really less hazardous.
DESIGN THE JOB AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT EXPOSURE TO TOXICS.
It’s better to prevent the hazard from ever reaching a worker than to rely on protective clothing or gear. For example, local exhaust ventilation (a “sucker” that pulls dust or welding fumes away right at the source) gets rid of a toxic substance before anyone has a chance to breathe it.
ENFORCE SAFETY RULES.
Work rules and procedures can help cut down on your exposure to toxics. For example, keeping the workplace clean can limit the amount of dusts in the air and help reduce other safety hazards. Workers should never eat or smoke in the work area. California’s law prohibiting smoking in indoor workplaces eliminates exposure to secondhand smoke. Some employers and local governments also ban smoking in outdoor areas.
GIVE WORKERS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IF NECESSARY.
Goggles, gloves, respirators and other personal protective equipment can help protect you gainst toxic hazards on the job, but they don’t usually protect you completely. They shield you from hazards rather than eliminating them. That’s why you should rely on personal protective equipment only if there is no better way to control the problem.

Use the Right Respirator
Respirators
can be hot and uncomfortable. You don’t want to wear one if you don’t
have to. They also aren’t as effective as some other kinds of protection.
But if there is no way to remove a harmful material from the air you are
breathing (by using a safer chemical, better ventilation or other controls),
you will need to use a respirator to protect yourself. Here are some guidelines
to help you decide if you’re getting the right protection.1. Your employer must set up a respiratory protection program.
-
If you need to use
a respirator on the job, Cal/OSHA requires your employer to set up a “respiratory
protection program.” The program should help you choose the right
respirator, make sure it fits, and get training about how to use it and
take care of it.
-
You can check the
label on the respirator or on its cartridge to find out what hazards it
protects you from. Make sure it is approved by “NIOSH” for protection
against the hazards you’re working with.
- DUST MASKS
protect only against wood dusts and other dusts that are
not very toxic. They don’t protect you against spray
mists or toxic dusts like asbestos, silica or lead. They also will not
protect you against chemical vapors or secondhand smoke. If you use
a dust mask, make sure it has a double strap and a good nose grip. Never
rely on single strap masks.
- DUAL CARTRIDGE
RESPIRATORS
protect against various hazards. These respirators use pairs of filters
or cartridges. Different filters and cartridges protect against different
hazards.
Use the right MECHANICAL FILTER for dusts, metal fumes and mists.
Use the right CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE for toxic gases and vapors from solvents or paints.
Use a COMBINATION RESPIRATOR for all the above — dusts, fumes, mists, gases and vapors. Combination respirators are available for any set of inhalation hazards.
- AIR-SUPPLIED
RESPIRATORS give you fresh air from a tank or through an airline.
Use them when you work in a confined space where there is not enough
oxygen to breathe.
CAUTION: If there is a rip or tear in the mask, it will not protect you from any hazards.
| CAUTION: If you have heart disease or respiratory problems, you should check with your doctor before using a respirator. |
-
No one respirator
will fit everyone. If your respirator does not fit properly on your face,
it will leak. You cannot tell if it fits by how it feels. The law requires
your employer to test the fit to make sure no vapors or dusts can leak
in around the edges.
-
Your respirator must
be kept clean, and the cartridges or filters should be changed regularly.
A respirator with a worn-out cartridge is worse than no respirator at
all. (It’s not protecting you, but it’s making it harder to
breathe.)
| CAUTION: If you have a beard, it is impossible to get a proper fit with most respirators. |
Tips for Taking Action
Once you have decided to try to improve health and safety on the job, you need to do some planning. Here are some tips for coming up with a realistic action plan.
Get support of co-workers.
-
No matter whether
you’re trying to get your employer to supply respirators that fit,
install a ventilation system or establish an outdoor workplace smoking
policy, the first and most important step to take is to get the
support of your co-workers.
-
It takes time to
convince co-workers that it’s worth taking some action to eliminate
a hazard. In many workplaces, people have found it useful to:
- Seek help from
the union (or consider organizing one).
- Take a survey
of the workforce to document the symptoms and illnesses that seem to
be related to each worker’s job.
- Identify other
workers who are concerned.
- Identify resources
for information and help.
- Have a meeting.
- Form a health
and safety committee, or join one that’s already been set up.
- Form a group to meet with the employer, or choose a co-worker the employer will listen to.
-
Some employers take
their responsibility for providing a safe workplace seriously. Once they
understand that conditions on their sites can cause serious health problems,
they will attempt to cooperate in changing them. Some possible approaches
are:
- Explain how serious
the problem is.
- Explain how many
workers’ compensation claims there could be, and point out that
they could be expensive and increase insurance rates.
- Show how production,
absenteeism and morale will improve if hazards are reduced.
- Show the advantages
of a health and safety committee.
- nsurance carrier
about health and safety services the insurer may provide.
- Tell them about Cal/OSHA’s free consultation service for employers.
-
When employers don’t
cooperate, workers still can:
- Seek help from
a union (or consider organizing one).
- File a grievance
(if there’s a contract).
- File a Cal/OSHA
complaint or get someone else to file one.
- File a complaint
with the National Labor Relations Board.
- Tell the press
about the problem. Go public in the community.
- Consider a job action or strike (only as a last resort).
THE RIGHT TO A SAFE WORKPLACE.
-
(California Labor
Code §6400, 6401)
- A written plan
with the name of the person who is responsible for health and safety
on the job.
- Information and
training for workers about possible hazards, given in a language that
workers understand.
- A system for
inspecting the workplace and correcting hazards promptly.
- A system for
workers to report hazards without fear of being fired or punished in
any way.
Both the federal and California Occupational Safety and Health Acts say that an employer must provide a workplace that is free from hazards and meets health and safety standards.
In California, Cal/OSHA regulations also say that your employer must set up an effective injury and illness prevention program (General Industry Safety Order 3203). This regulation requires:
-
(California Labor
Code §6404.5)
- “Indoor”
means four walls and a ceiling. It doesn’t matter whether there
are windows, louvers or sliding doors that open.
- Smoking is permitted in outdoor workplaces, unless an employer or a local ordinance bans it.
- Employers may
provide breakrooms for smokers, as long as they meet ventilation requirements
and as long as employers also provide non-smoking breakrooms.
- If smoking is
allowed in your indoor workplace, you have the right to file a complaint.
Different cities and counties have different enforcement agencies. Check
with your local health department to find the enforcement agency in
your area. If your employer has had three violations within a year,
you can file a complaint with Cal/OSHA.
California law says that no one shall smoke or permit smoking in an enclosed workplace.
-
(California Labor
Code §6398, 6399, 6408)
You have the right to know which toxic materials you work with and how they may harm you. You also have the right to see the results of any tests done to measure chemicals in your workplace. You may see your medical records, and records of injuries and illnesses related to work.
-
(California Labor
Code §6309)
The fastest way to correct a hazard may be to deal with your employer directly. But if this doesn’t work, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. The law allows you to file a complaint confidentially. Cal/OSHA won’t reveal who made the complaint.
-
(California Labor
Code §6310)
An employer may not fire you, or punish you in any way, for using the rights listed here. If your employer discriminates against you for using your health and safety rights, contact your union and/or the nearest office of the State Labor Commissioner.
In some cases, you also have the right to refuse to do an unsafe job without reprisal if there is a “real and apparent hazard.” Before refusing to do hazardous work, always try to get your employer to correct the hazard and/or inform Cal/OSHA about it.
-
(California Labor
Code §6401, 6403)
The law requires that the employer provide you with safety and protective equipment which is “reasonably adequate” to let you do the job safely — like gloves, safety glasses and respirators. You are not responsible for the cost.
-
(California Labor
Code §3600)
If a job hazard injures you or makes you sick, or if it makes a previous health problem get worse, workers’ comp will pay a percentage of your wage while you are recovering. Workers’ comp also pays for related medical expenses. For details on how to collect these benefits, call the toll-free number of the Workers' Compensation Information and Assistance Unit (1-800-736-7401). You may also wish to contact a workers' comp lawyer.
-
(California Labor
Code §9040)
The law requires that employers give free medical tests to anyone who works with asbestos, lead and a few other specific hazardous materials. The law also says that your employer must tell you the results of these tests.
| FINDING LAWS
AND REGULATIONS The California Labor Code is available in most public libraries and on the Internet. Cal/OSHA has many specific regulations, called “standards,” which give more details on the rights described in this section and other safety requirements. These are found in Title 8 of the California Administrative Code, General Industry Safety Orders and Construction Safety Orders. These Cal/OSHA Standards are available on the Internet. |

"What I like about construction is working outside and working with my hands. I can drive through town and say, ‘Hey, I built that.' But it's a dangerous job. Since 1991, in our Local, at least twelve people have been killed. You walk onto a site and you don't know what you're breathing, and you don't know who's working with what." |
Many of the dangers of construction work are obvious. We’re all familiar with safety hazards like unstable scaffolding, falling objects, electric shocks and fires.
Other dangers, especially chemical hazards, are less obvious. Some are hidden. If you’re doing demolition work and breathe in asbestos, you may not notice any effect at the time, but you can develop lung cancer many years later. Other chemicals have both short-term and long-term effects. You may feel sick or dizzy right away when you work with adhesives, paints or other materials that contain solvents. If you work with these solvents for many years, they can damage your liver or nervous system. Coal tar pitch used in roofing and roadwork may irritate your eyes and nose right away and may cause cancer years later.
For construction workers who smoke, the dangers are even greater. When your body has to deal with tobacco smoke as well as the dust and other chemicals at construction sites, your risk of getting cancer, lung disease and other serious illnesses is much higher. And the effects of tobacco use are not limited to the user. Secondhand smoke causes over 53,000 deaths a year among non-smokers.
The purpose of this guide is to give you information you can use to protect yourself. The focus is on the dangers of workplace chemicals and tobacco smoke because you probably already know about the common safety hazards on your job. This guide is part of a health and safety training project that teaches people in apprenticeship and vocational education programs how to recognize chemical hazards on the job, including those from tobacco, and how to plan strategies to make the workplace safer.
Voices From the Workplace
Here are some statements about health and safety that you might hear on the job. You may agree or disagree with each one. The information after each statement will give you some facts.
Respirators and other safety equipment can be uncomfortable and slow you down. But they can also save your life!
-
If toxic chemicals
get into your body — through your skin or lungs — they can cause
serious harm. Some chemicals can affect you right away, causing coughing,
skin irritation, dizziness or other symptoms. Other chemicals cause no
short-term symptoms, so there is no warning that they may cause serious
long-term damage.
-
The nose is not a
reliable way to measure danger. Some chemicals smell bad, but are safe.
Other chemicals have no odor, but are deadly. One example is carbon monoxide
— it’s odorless and invisible, but it can kill.
The employer is responsible for making the workplace safe. But if it isn’t possible to eliminate toxics from the work environment, personal protective equipment is your last line of defense.
If you’re exposed to toxic chemicals at work, the risk to your health will be higher if you also smoke cigarettes or have to breathe someone’s secondhand smoke.
-
Tobacco smoke adds
harmful chemicals to those already in the work environment, increasing
the risk.
• The more toxic exposure you have, the greater your risk. Avoiding toxic chemicals on the job and toxic chemicals in cigarettes are both important.
• The more toxic materials get into your body, the greater your risk. Cigarettes make it easier for other toxic substances to enter the body.
If you smoke, your odds of dying from lung cancer are five times higher than the odds for a non-smoker.
-
Many people can name
someone they know who never worked with cancer-causing chemicals, who
never smoked, but who died of cancer anyway. We also know people who smoke
and live long lives. These cases are exceptions because the Surgeon General
has proven that cigarette smoking causes 83% of all lung cancers and about
30% of other kinds of cancer.
-
Other chemicals (not
just those in cigarettes) also increase your risk of cancer. There is
no doubt that thousands of cancer deaths could be prevented by reducing
workers’ exposure to asbestos, nickel, chromium and other toxics.
Smoking or breathing secondhand smoke increases the risk from toxic chemicals for several reasons.
-
First, smoking means
more chemicals for your body to handle. For example, welding on the construction
site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide,
so you’re getting a much larger dose. Long-term exposure to carbon
monoxide weakens the heart.
Also, when the chemicals in tobacco smoke combine with certain other cancer-causing substances – for example, asbestos – the combination greatly increases the risk of lung cancer. An asbestos worker who doesn’t smoke has 5 times the risk of lung cancer as the general population, while an asbestos worker who smokes has more than 50 times the risk of lung cancer.

How
Construction Work Can Affect Your Health
It’s not always
easy to recognize when health problems are related to your work. Don’t
ignore headaches, frequent colds and coughs, dizziness, skin problems or
other symptoms you think may be related to your job. They may be caused
by chemicals or other conditions at work.
| HEAD Dizziness, headaches. Common causes: Solvents, ozone, noise, eye strain, smoke (including tobacco). |
EYES Red, watery, irritated. Common causes: Cement, wood dust, fiberglass, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
|
| NOSE & THROAT Sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, solvents, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
CHEST & LUNGS Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, lung cancer. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco), solvents. |
|
| SKIN Redness, dryness, rash, itching, skin cancer. Common causes: Solvents, cement, fiberglass, wood dust. |
STOMACH Nausea, vomiting, stomach ache. Common causes: Some wood dust, solvents, long-term lead exposure, job stress. |
|
| NERVOUS SYSTEM Nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, tremors. Common causes: Long-term solvent exposure, longterm lead exposure, job stress. |
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM For men: low sperm count, damage to sperm. For women: irregularities in menstruation, miscarriage, damage to egg or fetus. Common causes: Lead, toluene, some other solvents. |
How Do I Know If the Construction Job I’m Working on Is Hazardous?
To
figure out what the hazards of a particular construction job may be, ask
these questions and check the chart on the following pages. The chart also
suggests important control measures that can be taken to protect workers.1. Is there a lot of dust in the air?
-
The air on construction
sites, especially during demolition work, can contain asbestos,
silica, cement dust, fiberglass and wood dust. Most of these dusts
can irritate your eyes, nose and lungs. Some can cause bronchitis, asthma
and even cancer.
-
Varnishes, wood
sealers, paints, thinners, adhesives and many other construction
materials contain solvents. They can get into your body through your skin
or when you breathe the vapors. Solvents can give you headaches and make
you dizzy. If you work with them for many years, they may damage your
liver or nervous system.
-
Many construction
materials — like adhesives, sealants, waterproofing agents,
floor and wall coverings — are made up of isocyanate (the
raw material for polyurethane) or epoxy resin systems. The chemicals in
these systems can get into your body through your skin, or when you breathe
the mists or vapors. They can irritate your nose, eyes, throat and lungs.
Some people may develop an allergic reaction, similar to asthma.
4
What are other trades doing nearby?-
In construction work,
someone else’s work may produce welding fumes, chemical vapors, asphalt
smoke or other toxic hazards. These can affect everyone in the vicinity.
Be aware of what other trades are doing, and protect yourself.
-
If you or someone
else smokes on the job, you’re being exposed to many more toxic substances.
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals.

|
|
|
| ASBESTOS | Maintenance and demolition work; roof tear-offs. Construction: floor tile, roofing materials, drywall compounds, gaskets, packing materials, electric insulation, corrosion resistant coatings, heat resistant materials, asbestos cement pipe and sheet. | Short-term: Lung irritation (if very high levels). Long-term: Asbestosis (scarring of the lungs); cancer of the lung, stomach, and intestinal tract. Asbestos workers who smoke have over 10 times the cancer risk of asbestos workers who do not smoke. |
| SILICA | Maintenance; remodeling; demolition work; application of fireproof coatings; sandblasting; tunneling. | Long-term: Serious, incurable lung disease (silicosis). |
| CEMENT | Construction and demolition of foundations, sidewalks and floors. | Short-term: Eye, nose, skin and lung irritation. Causes skin rashes and infection. Allergic skin rashes. Long-term: Small decrease in lung function, wheezing, shortness of breath. |
| WOOD DUST | Construction, remodeling and demolition. Sawing: wood, plywood, particle board. | Short-term: Allergic skin rash, asthma, nasal irritation, skin and eye irritation. Long-term: Nasal cancer. |
| FIBERGLASS & OTHER INSULATION MATERIALS | Insulation on pipes, other insulation, air conditioning. | Short-term: Skin, eye, nose and throat irritation; shortness of breath. Long-term: May cause lung cancer. |
| CONTROLS FOR DUSTS | |
| ASBESTOS | Asbestos
removal jobs may be done only by licensed asbestos contractors. Isolate asbestos work and provide exhaust ventilation or dust collecting device. Keep material wet while removing it. Wear special protective clothing and correct respirators. Remove clothing and shower before leaving enclosed area. Post caution signs and labels. Smoking should be prohibited. |

Construction Hazards : Metals - Dusts & Fumes
|
Dusts & Fumes |
|
|
| CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, COPPER, ZINC, MAGNESIUM | Welding; drilling, cutting and sawing pipes; scraping rust or coatings. | Short-term:
Metal dusts can be irritating to skin, nose, eyes and lungs.
Effects of fumes differ depending on metal (see MSDS). Some
metals (such as zinc, copper, and magnesium) cause metal fume fever
(flu-like symptoms with fever, nausea, chills and muscular aches and
pains). Long-term: Depends on metal (see MSDS). Cadmium and chromium can cause cancer. |
| LEAD | Cable splicing, demolition, remodeling, painting, pipefitting, plumbing, roofing, sheetmetal, iron work, welding on lead or surfaces with lead paint or coatings; brass fixtures may release lead. | Short-term:
Effects are very rare. If exposure is high, symptoms similar to long-term
effects may occur. Long-term: Damage to brain and nerves (tremors, muscular weakness, lack of coordination), damage to reproductive systems (men and women), stomach problems, anemia, damage to kidneys. |

| METAL FUMES | Avoid
welding on toxic metals or coatings; brush or scrub off coatings first. Natural ventilation is often adequate in open areas. Position yourself so that fumes don’t blow into your face. Use local exhaust ventilation in indoor areas or confined spaces. Wear the correct respirator when ventilation or other controls are not possible. Lead: Shower and change clothes to avoid bringing lead home to your family. |
Construction Hazards : Solvents
|
|
|
|
| BENZENE | Causes leukemia. | These
solvents may be found in: Varnishes Finishes Wood sealers Thinners Paints Adhesives Cleaning and degreasing solutions Other products |
| METHYLENE CHLORIDE | May cause cancer. | |
| TOLUENE | Liver and kidney damage at high levels. May cause birth defects. | |
| TRICHLORO-ETHYLENE | Liver damage. May cause cancer. |
|
|
|
| Most
solvents you work with, including acetone, TCE or other degreasers,
affect your health in similar ways: Short-term: Most organic solvents affect the brain the same way drinking alcohol does. Overexposure causes symptoms resembling drunkenness, including headaches, "feeling high," nausea, dizziness, and at high levels, loss of coordination. Other short-term health effects are eye, nose and throat irritation, and skin rash. Long-term: Repeated, frequent overexposure over months or years may cause long-lasting damage to the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). |
Where
possible, substitute materials that are less toxic. Use ventilation to remove vapors. Wear the correct respirator (refer to MSDS). Wear proper protective clothing, correct gloves, goggles, face shields. No smoking. No open flame nearby. Vapors can build up quickly and become extremely dangerous in confined spaces. Follow OSHA confined space entry procedures where required. (These include pretesting atmosphere before entry; mechanical ventilation of space; respirators; rescue person.) Many fatalities occur in confined spaces. |
Construction Hazards : Other Chemicals
|
|
|
|
| EPOXY RESINS | Impermeable paint, primer for hardwood floors, surface paint and adhesive for concrete walls.. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma. |
| POLYURETHANES (ISOCYANATES) | Seam sealers, polyurethane insulation, electrical wire coatings. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma, other allergic lung diseases. May cause cancer. If workers get sensitized to these chemicals, they will become seriously ill at the slightest exposure. |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Roofing, road work. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Burns, skin irritation,
increased sensitivity to sunlight. Long-term: Cancer of the lungs, skin and other parts of the body. |
| CONTROLS FOR OTHER CHEMICALS | |
| EPOXY RESINS AND POLYURETHANES | When
possible, use one-component products where chemicals are already polymerized.
When spraying, use the correct air-supplied full face respirator (see MSDS). Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear safety goggles and gloves. Get proper training. Never smoke or use an open flame around these chemicals, which are fire and explosion hazards.. DANGER! If you smell it, get out! |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Where
possible, substitute less harmful materials such as coal tar enamel.
Keep melt temperature as low as possible. Install devices to reduce exposure when loading. Keep kettle covers in good shape and closed whenever possible. Wet down old pitch roofs before and during tear-offs. If dust is high, wear the correct respirator. Wear eye protection. Protect the skin, even in hot weather. Launder work clothes often. Wash up before eating, smoking, drinking and going home. If soap and water are not available use waterless cleaner, not gasoline. |

Secondhand Smoke Facts
|
You may be smoking, whether or not you ever put a cigarette in your mouth. If you work where people smoke, you may inhale the equivalent of a pack a day of other people's smoke. Here are some facts about secondhand smoke. |
welding
on the construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also
contains carbon monoxide, so you are getting a much larger dose. Long-term
exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
The Odds Against Tobacco Users’ Health
SMOKING
Smoking causes:
• 90% of lung cancer deaths
• 80% of emphysema and chronic bronchitis deaths
• 30% of cancer deaths
• 20% of heart disease deaths
Each year, over 400,000 Americans die prematurely because of smoking. Smoking kills more Americans each year than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, car crashes, fires and AIDS combined. Smoking also causes impotence.
CHEWING TOBACCO
Smokeless tobacco is not a safe alternative to smoking. Chewing tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, larynx and esophagus. Long-term “chew” users are 50 times more likely to get cancer of the cheek and gum than non-users. Chewing tobacco contains arsenic, cyanide, lead and benzene. It also contains fiberglass and dirt, which cause abrasions on the skin so the tobacco can enter the bloodstream more readily. Chewers get three times as much nicotine as smokers. It can be even harder to quit chew than cigarettes.
QUITTING
In the last 25 years, nearly half of all American adults who ever smoked have quit. Millions and millions of people have quit. But most smokers try several times before they quit permanently. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. The reason people use tobacco is to satisfy their addiction to nicotine. Quitting smoking or chewing tobacco can be at least as difficult as quitting cocaine or heroin.
DON’T GIVE UP

Combining Tobacco Smoke & Workplace Toxics
When tobacco smoke combines with other toxics in the workplace, there is extra danger to your health.
1. Some combinations ADD TO the odds against your health.
-
If you smoke, your
lungs aren’t as good at keeping other chemicals out. Tobacco smoke
damages your lungs’ ability to protect themselves against other
toxic substances you may inhale.
LUNGS: The odds of construction workers getting bronchitis, asthma or other lung diseases are high because you may work with asphalt, coal tar, treated wood and other lung hazards. Tobacco smoke makes it harder for your lungs to get rid of those chemicals.
Smoking also means more chemicals for your body to handle. Your body may be able to stand small amounts of some chemicals, but not larger amounts. Tobacco smoke can cause higher levels of the same harmful chemicals you’re already exposed to on the job. It also adds other harmful chemicals.
HEART: Welding on a construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide. You may not feel sick with a 5 to 10% level of carbon monoxide in your blood. But a 10 to 20% level can cause headaches and make you abnormally tired. Long-term exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
-
Some toxics can
work together inside your body to strengthen each other’s power
to cause disease. This is called synergy. For example, the odds against
your health multiply when you combine tobacco smoke with asbestos:
Scientists suspect that tobacco smoke and the ferric oxide in welding fumes also combine to multiply your risk of getting cancer.
-
Dangerous chemicals
can enter your body when you breathe them, swallow them, or get them
on your skin. The dust from some chemicals, like lead or cadmium, may
collect on your cigarettes. Then, when you put a cigarette to your lips
and inhale, you are not only taking in tobacco smoke, you are also taking
in extra toxics.
5. Smokers are more likely to have job injuries because they can be distracted by eye irritation, coughing or having only one hand free.

How
Construction Work Can Affect Your Health
It’s not always
easy to recognize when health problems are related to your work. Don’t
ignore headaches, frequent colds and coughs, dizziness, skin problems or
other symptoms you think may be related to your job. They may be caused
by chemicals or other conditions at work.
| HEAD Dizziness, headaches. Common causes: Solvents, ozone, noise, eye strain, smoke (including tobacco). |
EYES Red, watery, irritated. Common causes: Cement, wood dust, fiberglass, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
|
| NOSE & THROAT Sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, solvents, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
CHEST & LUNGS Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, lung cancer. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco), solvents. |
|
| SKIN Redness, dryness, rash, itching, skin cancer. Common causes: Solvents, cement, fiberglass, wood dust. |
STOMACH Nausea, vomiting, stomach ache. Common causes: Some wood dust, solvents, long-term lead exposure, job stress. |
|
| NERVOUS SYSTEM Nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, tremors. Common causes: Long-term solvent exposure, longterm lead exposure, job stress. |
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM For men: low sperm count, damage to sperm. For women: irregularities in menstruation, miscarriage, damage to egg or fetus. Common causes: Lead, toluene, some other solvents. |
How Do I Know If the Construction Job I’m Working on Is Hazardous?
To
figure out what the hazards of a particular construction job may be, ask
these questions and check the chart on the following pages. The chart also
suggests important control measures that can be taken to protect workers.1. Is there a lot of dust in the air?
-
The air on construction
sites, especially during demolition work, can contain asbestos,
silica, cement dust, fiberglass and wood dust. Most of these dusts
can irritate your eyes, nose and lungs. Some can cause bronchitis, asthma
and even cancer.
-
Varnishes, wood
sealers, paints, thinners, adhesives and many other construction
materials contain solvents. They can get into your body through your skin
or when you breathe the vapors. Solvents can give you headaches and make
you dizzy. If you work with them for many years, they may damage your
liver or nervous system.
-
Many construction
materials — like adhesives, sealants, waterproofing agents,
floor and wall coverings — are made up of isocyanate (the
raw material for polyurethane) or epoxy resin systems. The chemicals in
these systems can get into your body through your skin, or when you breathe
the mists or vapors. They can irritate your nose, eyes, throat and lungs.
Some people may develop an allergic reaction, similar to asthma.
4
What are other trades doing nearby?-
In construction work,
someone else’s work may produce welding fumes, chemical vapors, asphalt
smoke or other toxic hazards. These can affect everyone in the vicinity.
Be aware of what other trades are doing, and protect yourself.
-
If you or someone
else smokes on the job, you’re being exposed to many more toxic substances.
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals.

1. Some combinations ADD TO the odds against your health.
-
If you smoke, your
lungs aren’t as good at keeping other chemicals out. Tobacco smoke
damages your lungs’ ability to protect themselves against other
toxic substances you may inhale.
LUNGS: The odds of construction workers getting bronchitis, asthma or other lung diseases are high because you may work with asphalt, coal tar, treated wood and other lung hazards. Tobacco smoke makes it harder for your lungs to get rid of those chemicals.
Smoking also means more chemicals for your body to handle. Your body may be able to stand small amounts of some chemicals, but not larger amounts. Tobacco smoke can cause higher levels of the same harmful chemicals you’re already exposed to on the job. It also adds other harmful chemicals.
HEART: Welding on a construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide. You may not feel sick with a 5 to 10% level of carbon monoxide in your blood. But a 10 to 20% level can cause headaches and make you abnormally tired. Long-term exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
-
Some toxics can
work together inside your body to strengthen each other’s power
to cause disease. This is called synergy. For example, the odds against
your health multiply when you combine tobacco smoke with asbestos:
Scientists suspect that tobacco smoke and the ferric oxide in welding fumes also combine to multiply your risk of getting cancer.
-
Dangerous chemicals
can enter your body when you breathe them, swallow them, or get them
on your skin. The dust from some chemicals, like lead or cadmium, may
collect on your cigarettes. Then, when you put a cigarette to your lips
and inhale, you are not only taking in tobacco smoke, you are also taking
in extra toxics.
5. Smokers are more likely to have job injuries because they can be distracted by eye irritation, coughing or having only one hand free.

“Pues,
si uno lo hace por necesidad, por la familia, pero uno debe pensar
en su salud, que mañana no voy a estar aquí.” “Well, we work out of necessity, for the family. But you have to think about your health — that tomorrow, I might not be here.” |
There are different ways to reduce chemical hazards on the job. The best ways are to stop using the most toxic materials, or to design the work and equipment so that no one is exposed to toxics.
USE SAFER CHEMICALS.
Sometimes you can use a substance that is less toxic. For example, many of the materials you work with contain solvents. Water-based or alcohol-based solvents are usually safer than “chlorinated hydrocarbons” (solvents with chlorine in them) and “aromatic hydrocarbons” (like toluene and xylene). But always check out the hazards of the substitute to make sure it is really less hazardous.
DESIGN THE JOB AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT EXPOSURE TO TOXICS.
It’s better to prevent the hazard from ever reaching a worker than to rely on protective clothing or gear. For example, local exhaust ventilation (a “sucker” that pulls dust or welding fumes away right at the source) gets rid of a toxic substance before anyone has a chance to breathe it.
ENFORCE SAFETY RULES.
Work rules and procedures can help cut down on your exposure to toxics. For example, keeping the workplace clean can limit the amount of dusts in the air and help reduce other safety hazards. Workers should never eat or smoke in the work area. California’s law prohibiting smoking in indoor workplaces eliminates exposure to secondhand smoke. Some employers and local governments also ban smoking in outdoor areas.
GIVE WORKERS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IF NECESSARY.
Goggles, gloves, respirators and other personal protective equipment can help protect you gainst toxic hazards on the job, but they don’t usually protect you completely. They shield you from hazards rather than eliminating them. That’s why you should rely on personal protective equipment only if there is no better way to control the problem.

Use the Right Respirator
Respirators
can be hot and uncomfortable. You don’t want to wear one if you don’t
have to. They also aren’t as effective as some other kinds of protection.
But if there is no way to remove a harmful material from the air you are
breathing (by using a safer chemical, better ventilation or other controls),
you will need to use a respirator to protect yourself. Here are some guidelines
to help you decide if you’re getting the right protection.1. Your employer must set up a respiratory protection program.
-
If you need to use
a respirator on the job, Cal/OSHA requires your employer to set up a “respiratory
protection program.” The program should help you choose the right
respirator, make sure it fits, and get training about how to use it and
take care of it.
-
You can check the
label on the respirator or on its cartridge to find out what hazards it
protects you from. Make sure it is approved by “NIOSH” for protection
against the hazards you’re working with.
- DUST MASKS
protect only against wood dusts and other dusts that are
not very toxic. They don’t protect you against spray
mists or toxic dusts like asbestos, silica or lead. They also will not
protect you against chemical vapors or secondhand smoke. If you use
a dust mask, make sure it has a double strap and a good nose grip. Never
rely on single strap masks.
- DUAL CARTRIDGE
RESPIRATORS
protect against various hazards. These respirators use pairs of filters
or cartridges. Different filters and cartridges protect against different
hazards.
Use the right MECHANICAL FILTER for dusts, metal fumes and mists.
Use the right CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE for toxic gases and vapors from solvents or paints.
Use a COMBINATION RESPIRATOR for all the above — dusts, fumes, mists, gases and vapors. Combination respirators are available for any set of inhalation hazards.
- AIR-SUPPLIED
RESPIRATORS give you fresh air from a tank or through an airline.
Use them when you work in a confined space where there is not enough
oxygen to breathe.
CAUTION: If there is a rip or tear in the mask, it will not protect you from any hazards.
| CAUTION: If you have heart disease or respiratory problems, you should check with your doctor before using a respirator. |
-
No one respirator
will fit everyone. If your respirator does not fit properly on your face,
it will leak. You cannot tell if it fits by how it feels. The law requires
your employer to test the fit to make sure no vapors or dusts can leak
in around the edges.
-
Your respirator must
be kept clean, and the cartridges or filters should be changed regularly.
A respirator with a worn-out cartridge is worse than no respirator at
all. (It’s not protecting you, but it’s making it harder to
breathe.)
| CAUTION: If you have a beard, it is impossible to get a proper fit with most respirators. |
Tips for Taking Action
Once you have decided to try to improve health and safety on the job, you need to do some planning. Here are some tips for coming up with a realistic action plan.
Get support of co-workers.
-
No matter whether
you’re trying to get your employer to supply respirators that fit,
install a ventilation system or establish an outdoor workplace smoking
policy, the first and most important step to take is to get the
support of your co-workers.
-
It takes time to
convince co-workers that it’s worth taking some action to eliminate
a hazard. In many workplaces, people have found it useful to:
- Seek help from
the union (or consider organizing one).
- Take a survey
of the workforce to document the symptoms and illnesses that seem to
be related to each worker’s job.
- Identify other
workers who are concerned.
- Identify resources
for information and help.
- Have a meeting.
- Form a health
and safety committee, or join one that’s already been set up.
- Form a group to meet with the employer, or choose a co-worker the employer will listen to.
-
Some employers take
their responsibility for providing a safe workplace seriously. Once they
understand that conditions on their sites can cause serious health problems,
they will attempt to cooperate in changing them. Some possible approaches
are:
- Explain how serious
the problem is.
- Explain how many
workers’ compensation claims there could be, and point out that
they could be expensive and increase insurance rates.
- Show how production,
absenteeism and morale will improve if hazards are reduced.
- Show the advantages
of a health and safety committee.
- nsurance carrier
about health and safety services the insurer may provide.
- Tell them about Cal/OSHA’s free consultation service for employers.
-
When employers don’t
cooperate, workers still can:
- Seek help from
a union (or consider organizing one).
- File a grievance
(if there’s a contract).
- File a Cal/OSHA
complaint or get someone else to file one.
- File a complaint
with the National Labor Relations Board.
- Tell the press
about the problem. Go public in the community.
- Consider a job action or strike (only as a last resort).
THE RIGHT TO A SAFE WORKPLACE.
-
(California Labor
Code §6400, 6401)
- A written plan
with the name of the person who is responsible for health and safety
on the job.
- Information and
training for workers about possible hazards, given in a language that
workers understand.
- A system for
inspecting the workplace and correcting hazards promptly.
- A system for
workers to report hazards without fear of being fired or punished in
any way.
Both the federal and California Occupational Safety and Health Acts say that an employer must provide a workplace that is free from hazards and meets health and safety standards.
In California, Cal/OSHA regulations also say that your employer must set up an effective injury and illness prevention program (General Industry Safety Order 3203). This regulation requires:
-
(California Labor
Code §6404.5)
- “Indoor”
means four walls and a ceiling. It doesn’t matter whether there
are windows, louvers or sliding doors that open.
- Smoking is permitted in outdoor workplaces, unless an employer or a local ordinance bans it.
- Employers may
provide breakrooms for smokers, as long as they meet ventilation requirements
and as long as employers also provide non-smoking breakrooms.
- If smoking is
allowed in your indoor workplace, you have the right to file a complaint.
Different cities and counties have different enforcement agencies. Check
with your local health department to find the enforcement agency in
your area. If your employer has had three violations within a year,
you can file a complaint with Cal/OSHA.
California law says that no one shall smoke or permit smoking in an enclosed workplace.
-
(California Labor
Code §6398, 6399, 6408)
You have the right to know which toxic materials you work with and how they may harm you. You also have the right to see the results of any tests done to measure chemicals in your workplace. You may see your medical records, and records of injuries and illnesses related to work.
-
(California Labor
Code §6309)
The fastest way to correct a hazard may be to deal with your employer directly. But if this doesn’t work, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. The law allows you to file a complaint confidentially. Cal/OSHA won’t reveal who made the complaint.
-
(California Labor
Code §6310)
An employer may not fire you, or punish you in any way, for using the rights listed here. If your employer discriminates against you for using your health and safety rights, contact your union and/or the nearest office of the State Labor Commissioner.
In some cases, you also have the right to refuse to do an unsafe job without reprisal if there is a “real and apparent hazard.” Before refusing to do hazardous work, always try to get your employer to correct the hazard and/or inform Cal/OSHA about it.
-
(California Labor
Code §6401, 6403)
The law requires that the employer provide you with safety and protective equipment which is “reasonably adequate” to let you do the job safely — like gloves, safety glasses and respirators. You are not responsible for the cost.
-
(California Labor
Code §3600)
If a job hazard injures you or makes you sick, or if it makes a previous health problem get worse, workers’ comp will pay a percentage of your wage while you are recovering. Workers’ comp also pays for related medical expenses. For details on how to collect these benefits, call the toll-free number of the Workers' Compensation Information and Assistance Unit (1-800-736-7401). You may also wish to contact a workers' comp lawyer.
-
(California Labor
Code §9040)
The law requires that employers give free medical tests to anyone who works with asbestos, lead and a few other specific hazardous materials. The law also says that your employer must tell you the results of these tests.
| FINDING LAWS
AND REGULATIONS The California Labor Code is available in most public libraries and on the Internet. Cal/OSHA has many specific regulations, called “standards,” which give more details on the rights described in this section and other safety requirements. These are found in Title 8 of the California Administrative Code, General Industry Safety Orders and Construction Safety Orders. These Cal/OSHA Standards are available on the Internet. |
What If Someone’s Smoking Indoors at the Work Site?
Even though California law prohibits smoking in indoor workplaces, sometimes people still smoke there. Here are some tips about what to do if someone smokes indoors at your workplace.
- Talk to your co-workers and see if the smoke is bothering other people, too.
- Talk to the person who is smoking, and explain why the smoke is not good for them, and others in the workplace.
- Talk to the employer and explain that they’ve got to enforce the law.
- If you don’t feel comfortable doing these things, contact your local public health department’s tobacco control program and explain the problem. You have the right to file a complaint directly with the health department or other enforcement agency in your area. (The health department people will tell you which agency enforces the no-smoking law.)
- The enforcement agency can fine both the individual smoker and the employer who allows smoking in an indoor workplace. Even if the smoker is not an employee, he or she can be fined. Generally, fines are $100 for the first violation, $200 for the second violation and $500 for the third violation.
- If your employer has had three violations within one year, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. OSHA Penalties can range up to $70,000 depending on the seriousness of the situation.
When to File a Complaint
-
Often on construction
sites, health and safety hazards are present for only a short time. By
the time Cal/OSHA can get to the site, the hazard may not be there. It’s
best if you, your co-workers and your union can get hazards eliminated
by working directly with the employer. Sometimes, however, you should
call Cal/OSHA. You should do this:
- Immediately, if there is a situation that threatens someone’s life.
- When there has been a serious injury on the job.
- When you or your union cannot resolve a health and safety problem with the employer.
- You may file your complaint by phone, in person or by mail. If you phone in your complaint, it’s a good idea to document it by following up in writing. To find your nearest Cal/OSHA office, look in the State Government Pages of the phone book (under “California, State of, Industrial Relations Department, Occupational Safety and Health”).
- You do not have to use your name, but you can if you want. Your name will be kept confidential. If you prefer, ask your union representative to help you file the complaint or file it for you.
- Try to make your complaint complete and convincing. Let Cal/OSHA know how serious the problem is and how many people may be affected. Describe exactly where the problem is located (draw a diagram, if it helps). Explain what has happened, or may happen, as a result. You don’t need to specify which safety regulations you think are being violated.
- You will get the best results if you call and follow up on your complaint. Keep in touch with the Cal/OSHA office.
- Cal/OSHA will review your complaint, assign an inspector and send him or her out to conduct an unannounced inspection. You and your union rep have the right to go with the inspector during the “walkaround” inspection. If Cal/OSHA finds violations of safety regulations, they will order management to fix the problem within a specific period of time. They also may require the employer to pay a fine. If the employer appeals the citation, you and your union rep have a right to participate in the appeal process.
- If you and your employer agree to work together to investigate and solve a health and safety problem, Cal/OSHA can help you. Cal/OSHA has a free Consultation Service that will assist employers or joint labor-management committees.
- Your employer must get a permit from Cal/OSHA for certain construction and demolition jobs. Before granting the permit, Cal/OSHA may meet with the contractor, workers and their union representatives to make sure the job will be done safely.
Under California law, your employer must:
1. LABEL
-
Label all containers
of toxic materials. Proper labels have the name of the chemical, warnings
about the chemical’s hazards and the name and address of the manufacturer.
-
Train every employee
about the toxics used on the job. The training must include information
on the dangerous chemicals you work with, how they can harm you, the symptoms
to watch out for and how to protect yourself.
-
Give you detailed
information on each hazardous chemical you work with, when you ask for
the information. The main source of this information is the MSDS (Material
Safety Data Sheet). Each hazardous chemical should have an MSDS. Your
employer is responsible for getting the MSDS for any hazardous substance
used on the job, and making sure you can look at it. Your training must
explain how to read the MSDS.
Title 8, General Industry Safety Order 5194.
You also have the right to see:
- Records of any company tests done to measure the level of toxic chemicals in the workplace. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Your own medical records if the company keeps them. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Records of any illnesses and injuries that you and your co-workers suffered because of conditions at work. The law requires that an employer keep these records for five years. They’re called “Log 200.” (General Industry Safety Order 3203)
- The employer’s
written plan for preventing illness and injury. This plan must include
a way to identify and solve health and safety problems. (General Industry
Safety Order 3203)
If the employer refuses to give you any of this information, you have the right to file a Cal/OSHA complaint. (California Labor Code §6309)

- If your employer has had three violations within one year, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. OSHA Penalties can range up to $70,000 depending on the seriousness of the situation.
When to File a Complaint
-
Often on construction
sites, health and safety hazards are present for only a short time. By
the time Cal/OSHA can get to the site, the hazard may not be there. It’s
best if you, your co-workers and your union can get hazards eliminated
by working directly with the employer. Sometimes, however, you should
call Cal/OSHA. You should do this:
- Immediately, if there is a situation that threatens someone’s life.
- When there has been a serious injury on the job.
- When you or your union cannot resolve a health and safety problem with the employer.
- You may file your complaint by phone, in person or by mail. If you phone in your complaint, it’s a good idea to document it by following up in writing. To find your nearest Cal/OSHA office, look in the State Government Pages of the phone book (under “California, State of, Industrial Relations Department, Occupational Safety and Health”).
- You do not have to use your name, but you can if you want. Your name will be kept confidential. If you prefer, ask your union representative to help you file the complaint or file it for you.
- Try to make your complaint complete and convincing. Let Cal/OSHA know how serious the problem is and how many people may be affected. Describe exactly where the problem is located (draw a diagram, if it helps). Explain what has happened, or may happen, as a result. You don’t need to specify which safety regulations you think are being violated.
- You will get the best results if you call and follow up on your complaint. Keep in touch with the Cal/OSHA office.
- Cal/OSHA will review your complaint, assign an inspector and send him or her out to conduct an unannounced inspection. You and your union rep have the right to go with the inspector during the “walkaround” inspection. If Cal/OSHA finds violations of safety regulations, they will order management to fix the problem within a specific period of time. They also may require the employer to pay a fine. If the employer appeals the citation, you and your union rep have a right to participate in the appeal process.
- If you and your employer agree to work together to investigate and solve a health and safety problem, Cal/OSHA can help you. Cal/OSHA has a free Consultation Service that will assist employers or joint labor-management committees.
- Your employer must get a permit from Cal/OSHA for certain construction and demolition jobs. Before granting the permit, Cal/OSHA may meet with the contractor, workers and their union representatives to make sure the job will be done safely.
Under California law, your employer must:
1. LABEL
-
Label all containers
of toxic materials. Proper labels have the name of the chemical, warnings
about the chemical’s hazards and the name and address of the manufacturer.
-
Train every employee
about the toxics used on the job. The training must include information
on the dangerous chemicals you work with, how they can harm you, the symptoms
to watch out for and how to protect yourself.
-
Give you detailed
information on each hazardous chemical you work with, when you ask for
the information. The main source of this information is the MSDS (Material
Safety Data Sheet). Each hazardous chemical should have an MSDS. Your
employer is responsible for getting the MSDS for any hazardous substance
used on the job, and making sure you can look at it. Your training must
explain how to read the MSDS.
Title 8, General Industry Safety Order 5194.
You also have the right to see:
- Records of any company tests done to measure the level of toxic chemicals in the workplace. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Your own medical records if the company keeps them. (General Industry Safety Order 3204)
- Records of any illnesses and injuries that you and your co-workers suffered because of conditions at work. The law requires that an employer keep these records for five years. They’re called “Log 200.” (General Industry Safety Order 3203)
- The employer’s
written plan for preventing illness and injury. This plan must include
a way to identify and solve health and safety problems. (General Industry
Safety Order 3203)
If the employer refuses to give you any of this information, you have the right to file a Cal/OSHA complaint. (California Labor Code §6309)

"What I like about construction is working outside and working with my hands. I can drive through town and say, ‘Hey, I built that.' But it's a dangerous job. Since 1991, in our Local, at least twelve people have been killed. You walk onto a site and you don't know what you're breathing, and you don't know who's working with what." |
Many of the dangers of construction work are obvious. We’re all familiar with safety hazards like unstable scaffolding, falling objects, electric shocks and fires.
Other dangers, especially chemical hazards, are less obvious. Some are hidden. If you’re doing demolition work and breathe in asbestos, you may not notice any effect at the time, but you can develop lung cancer many years later. Other chemicals have both short-term and long-term effects. You may feel sick or dizzy right away when you work with adhesives, paints or other materials that contain solvents. If you work with these solvents for many years, they can damage your liver or nervous system. Coal tar pitch used in roofing and roadwork may irritate your eyes and nose right away and may cause cancer years later.
For construction workers who smoke, the dangers are even greater. When your body has to deal with tobacco smoke as well as the dust and other chemicals at construction sites, your risk of getting cancer, lung disease and other serious illnesses is much higher. And the effects of tobacco use are not limited to the user. Secondhand smoke causes over 53,000 deaths a year among non-smokers.
The purpose of this guide is to give you information you can use to protect yourself. The focus is on the dangers of workplace chemicals and tobacco smoke because you probably already know about the common safety hazards on your job. This guide is part of a health and safety training project that teaches people in apprenticeship and vocational education programs how to recognize chemical hazards on the job, including those from tobacco, and how to plan strategies to make the workplace safer.
Voices From the Workplace
Here are some statements about health and safety that you might hear on the job. You may agree or disagree with each one. The information after each statement will give you some facts.
Respirators and other safety equipment can be uncomfortable and slow you down. But they can also save your life!
-
If toxic chemicals
get into your body — through your skin or lungs — they can cause
serious harm. Some chemicals can affect you right away, causing coughing,
skin irritation, dizziness or other symptoms. Other chemicals cause no
short-term symptoms, so there is no warning that they may cause serious
long-term damage.
-
The nose is not a
reliable way to measure danger. Some chemicals smell bad, but are safe.
Other chemicals have no odor, but are deadly. One example is carbon monoxide
— it’s odorless and invisible, but it can kill.
The employer is responsible for making the workplace safe. But if it isn’t possible to eliminate toxics from the work environment, personal protective equipment is your last line of defense.
If you’re exposed to toxic chemicals at work, the risk to your health will be higher if you also smoke cigarettes or have to breathe someone’s secondhand smoke.
-
Tobacco smoke adds
harmful chemicals to those already in the work environment, increasing
the risk.
• The more toxic exposure you have, the greater your risk. Avoiding toxic chemicals on the job and toxic chemicals in cigarettes are both important.
• The more toxic materials get into your body, the greater your risk. Cigarettes make it easier for other toxic substances to enter the body.
If you smoke, your odds of dying from lung cancer are five times higher than the odds for a non-smoker.
-
Many people can name
someone they know who never worked with cancer-causing chemicals, who
never smoked, but who died of cancer anyway. We also know people who smoke
and live long lives. These cases are exceptions because the Surgeon General
has proven that cigarette smoking causes 83% of all lung cancers and about
30% of other kinds of cancer.
-
Other chemicals (not
just those in cigarettes) also increase your risk of cancer. There is
no doubt that thousands of cancer deaths could be prevented by reducing
workers’ exposure to asbestos, nickel, chromium and other toxics.
Smoking or breathing secondhand smoke increases the risk from toxic chemicals for several reasons.
-
First, smoking means
more chemicals for your body to handle. For example, welding on the construction
site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide,
so you’re getting a much larger dose. Long-term exposure to carbon
monoxide weakens the heart.
Also, when the chemicals in tobacco smoke combine with certain other cancer-causing substances – for example, asbestos – the combination greatly increases the risk of lung cancer. An asbestos worker who doesn’t smoke has 5 times the risk of lung cancer as the general population, while an asbestos worker who smokes has more than 50 times the risk of lung cancer.

How
Construction Work Can Affect Your Health
It’s not always
easy to recognize when health problems are related to your work. Don’t
ignore headaches, frequent colds and coughs, dizziness, skin problems or
other symptoms you think may be related to your job. They may be caused
by chemicals or other conditions at work.
| HEAD Dizziness, headaches. Common causes: Solvents, ozone, noise, eye strain, smoke (including tobacco). |
EYES Red, watery, irritated. Common causes: Cement, wood dust, fiberglass, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
|
| NOSE & THROAT Sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, solvents, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
CHEST & LUNGS Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, lung cancer. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco), solvents. |
|
| SKIN Redness, dryness, rash, itching, skin cancer. Common causes: Solvents, cement, fiberglass, wood dust. |
STOMACH Nausea, vomiting, stomach ache. Common causes: Some wood dust, solvents, long-term lead exposure, job stress. |
|
| NERVOUS SYSTEM Nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, tremors. Common causes: Long-term solvent exposure, longterm lead exposure, job stress. |
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM For men: low sperm count, damage to sperm. For women: irregularities in menstruation, miscarriage, damage to egg or fetus. Common causes: Lead, toluene, some other solvents. |
How Do I Know If the Construction Job I’m Working on Is Hazardous?
To
figure out what the hazards of a particular construction job may be, ask
these questions and check the chart on the following pages. The chart also
suggests important control measures that can be taken to protect workers.1. Is there a lot of dust in the air?
-
The air on construction
sites, especially during demolition work, can contain asbestos,
silica, cement dust, fiberglass and wood dust. Most of these dusts
can irritate your eyes, nose and lungs. Some can cause bronchitis, asthma
and even cancer.
-
Varnishes, wood
sealers, paints, thinners, adhesives and many other construction
materials contain solvents. They can get into your body through your skin
or when you breathe the vapors. Solvents can give you headaches and make
you dizzy. If you work with them for many years, they may damage your
liver or nervous system.
-
Many construction
materials — like adhesives, sealants, waterproofing agents,
floor and wall coverings — are made up of isocyanate (the
raw material for polyurethane) or epoxy resin systems. The chemicals in
these systems can get into your body through your skin, or when you breathe
the mists or vapors. They can irritate your nose, eyes, throat and lungs.
Some people may develop an allergic reaction, similar to asthma.

What are other trades doing nearby?-
In construction work,
someone else’s work may produce welding fumes, chemical vapors, asphalt
smoke or other toxic hazards. These can affect everyone in the vicinity.
Be aware of what other trades are doing, and protect yourself.
-
If you or someone
else smokes on the job, you’re being exposed to many more toxic substances.
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals.
|
|
|
|
| ASBESTOS | Maintenance and demolition work; roof tear-offs. Construction: floor tile, roofing materials, drywall compounds, gaskets, packing materials, electric insulation, corrosion resistant coatings, heat resistant materials, asbestos cement pipe and sheet. | Short-term: Lung irritation (if very high levels). Long-term: Asbestosis (scarring of the lungs); cancer of the lung, stomach, and intestinal tract. Asbestos workers who smoke have over 10 times the cancer risk of asbestos workers who do not smoke. |
| SILICA | Maintenance; remodeling; demolition work; application of fireproof coatings; sandblasting; tunneling. | Long-term: Serious, incurable lung disease (silicosis). |
| CEMENT | Construction and demolition of foundations, sidewalks and floors. | Short-term: Eye, nose, skin and lung irritation. Causes skin rashes and infection. Allergic skin rashes. Long-term: Small decrease in lung function, wheezing, shortness of breath. |
| WOOD DUST | Construction, remodeling and demolition. Sawing: wood, plywood, particle board. | Short-term: Allergic skin rash, asthma, nasal irritation, skin and eye irritation. Long-term: Nasal cancer. |
| FIBERGLASS & OTHER INSULATION MATERIALS | Insulation on pipes, other insulation, air conditioning. | Short-term: Skin, eye, nose and throat irritation; shortness of breath. Long-term: May cause lung cancer. |
| CONTROLS FOR DUSTS | |
| ASBESTOS | Asbestos
removal jobs may be done only by licensed asbestos contractors. Isolate asbestos work and provide exhaust ventilation or dust collecting device. Keep material wet while removing it. Wear special protective clothing and correct respirators. Remove clothing and shower before leaving enclosed area. Post caution signs and labels. Smoking should be prohibited. |
| OTHER DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
Construction Hazards : Metals - Dusts & Fumes
|
Dusts & Fumes |
|
|
| CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, COPPER, ZINC, MAGNESIUM | Welding; drilling, cutting and sawing pipes; scraping rust or coatings. | Short-term:
Metal dusts can be irritating to skin, nose, eyes and lungs.
Effects of fumes differ depending on metal (see MSDS). Some
metals (such as zinc, copper, and magnesium) cause metal fume fever
(flu-like symptoms with fever, nausea, chills and muscular aches and
pains). Long-term: Depends on metal (see MSDS). Cadmium and chromium can cause cancer. |
| LEAD | Cable splicing, demolition, remodeling, painting, pipefitting, plumbing, roofing, sheetmetal, iron work, welding on lead or surfaces with lead paint or coatings; brass fixtures may release lead. | Short-term:
Effects are very rare. If exposure is high, symptoms similar to long-term
effects may occur. Long-term: Damage to brain and nerves (tremors, muscular weakness, lack of coordination), damage to reproductive systems (men and women), stomach problems, anemia, damage to kidneys. |
| CONTROLS FOR METALS | |
| METAL DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
| METAL FUMES | Avoid
welding on toxic metals or coatings; brush or scrub off coatings first. Natural ventilation is often adequate in open areas. Position yourself so that fumes don’t blow into your face. Use local exhaust ventilation in indoor areas or confined spaces. Wear the correct respirator when ventilation or other controls are not possible. Lead: Shower and change clothes to avoid bringing lead home to your family. |
Construction Hazards : Solvents
|
|
|
|
| BENZENE | Causes leukemia. | These
solvents may be found in: Varnishes Finishes Wood sealers Thinners Paints Adhesives Cleaning and degreasing solutions Other products |
| METHYLENE CHLORIDE | May cause cancer. | |
| TOLUENE | Liver and kidney damage at high levels. May cause birth defects. | |
| TRICHLORO-ETHYLENE | Liver damage. May cause cancer. |
|
|
|
| Most
solvents you work with, including acetone, TCE or other degreasers,
affect your health in similar ways: Short-term: Most organic solvents affect the brain the same way drinking alcohol does. Overexposure causes symptoms resembling drunkenness, including headaches, "feeling high," nausea, dizziness, and at high levels, loss of coordination. Other short-term health effects are eye, nose and throat irritation, and skin rash. Long-term: Repeated, frequent overexposure over months or years may cause long-lasting damage to the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). |
Where
possible, substitute materials that are less toxic. Use ventilation to remove vapors. Wear the correct respirator (refer to MSDS). Wear proper protective clothing, correct gloves, goggles, face shields. No smoking. No open flame nearby. Vapors can build up quickly and become extremely dangerous in confined spaces. Follow OSHA confined space entry procedures where required. (These include pretesting atmosphere before entry; mechanical ventilation of space; respirators; rescue person.) Many fatalities occur in confined spaces. |
Construction Hazards : Other Chemicals
|
|
|
|
| EPOXY RESINS | Impermeable paint, primer for hardwood floors, surface paint and adhesive for concrete walls.. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma. |
| POLYURETHANES (ISOCYANATES) | Seam sealers, polyurethane insulation, electrical wire coatings. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma, other allergic lung diseases. May cause cancer. If workers get sensitized to these chemicals, they will become seriously ill at the slightest exposure. |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Roofing, road work. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Burns, skin irritation,
increased sensitivity to sunlight. Long-term: Cancer of the lungs, skin and other parts of the body. |
| CONTROLS FOR OTHER CHEMICALS | |
| EPOXY RESINS AND POLYURETHANES | When
possible, use one-component products where chemicals are already polymerized.
When spraying, use the correct air-supplied full face respirator (see MSDS). Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear safety goggles and gloves. Get proper training. Never smoke or use an open flame around these chemicals, which are fire and explosion hazards.. DANGER! If you smell it, get out! |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Where
possible, substitute less harmful materials such as coal tar enamel.
Keep melt temperature as low as possible. Install devices to reduce exposure when loading. Keep kettle covers in good shape and closed whenever possible. Wet down old pitch roofs before and during tear-offs. If dust is high, wear the correct respirator. Wear eye protection. Protect the skin, even in hot weather. Launder work clothes often. Wash up before eating, smoking, drinking and going home. If soap and water are not available use waterless cleaner, not gasoline. |
Some
of the Chemicals in Cigarette SmokeThere are over 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. More than 50 of them are known to be carcinogens (to cause cancer). Many of the chemicals in cigarette smoke are also found in the workplace and regulated by OSHA. Some are found in common household products. This is a small sample of the toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke.

Secondhand Smoke Facts
|
You may be smoking, whether or not you ever put a cigarette in your mouth. If you work where people smoke, you may inhale the equivalent of a pack a day of other people's smoke. Here are some facts about secondhand smoke. |
welding
on the construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also
contains carbon monoxide, so you are getting a much larger dose. Long-term
exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
The Odds Against Tobacco Users’ Health
SMOKING
Smoking causes:
• 90% of lung cancer deaths
• 80% of emphysema and chronic bronchitis deaths
• 30% of cancer deaths
• 20% of heart disease deaths
Each year, over 400,000 Americans die prematurely because of smoking. Smoking kills more Americans each year than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, car crashes, fires and AIDS combined. Smoking also causes impotence.
CHEWING TOBACCO
Smokeless tobacco is not a safe alternative to smoking. Chewing tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, larynx and esophagus. Long-term “chew” users are 50 times more likely to get cancer of the cheek and gum than non-users. Chewing tobacco contains arsenic, cyanide, lead and benzene. It also contains fiberglass and dirt, which cause abrasions on the skin so the tobacco can enter the bloodstream more readily. Chewers get three times as much nicotine as smokers. It can be even harder to quit chew than cigarettes.
QUITTING
In the last 25 years, nearly half of all American adults who ever smoked have quit. Millions and millions of people have quit. But most smokers try several times before they quit permanently. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. The reason people use tobacco is to satisfy their addiction to nicotine. Quitting smoking or chewing tobacco can be at least as difficult as quitting cocaine or heroin.
DON’T GIVE UP
For help in quitting, contact the California Smokers’ Helpline. This program provides free and confidential telephone counseling to help you quit smoking or chewing tobacco.

Combining Tobacco Smoke & Workplace Toxics
When tobacco smoke combines with other toxics in the workplace, there is extra danger to your health.
1. Some combinations ADD TO the odds against your health.
-
If you smoke, your
lungs aren’t as good at keeping other chemicals out. Tobacco smoke
damages your lungs’ ability to protect themselves against other
toxic substances you may inhale.
LUNGS: The odds of construction workers getting bronchitis, asthma or other lung diseases are high because you may work with asphalt, coal tar, treated wood and other lung hazards. Tobacco smoke makes it harder for your lungs to get rid of those chemicals.
Smoking also means more chemicals for your body to handle. Your body may be able to stand small amounts of some chemicals, but not larger amounts. Tobacco smoke can cause higher levels of the same harmful chemicals you’re already exposed to on the job. It also adds other harmful chemicals.
HEART: Welding on a construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide. You may not feel sick with a 5 to 10% level of carbon monoxide in your blood. But a 10 to 20% level can cause headaches and make you abnormally tired. Long-term exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
-
Some toxics can
work together inside your body to strengthen each other’s power
to cause disease. This is called synergy. For example, the odds against
your health multiply when you combine tobacco smoke with asbestos:
Scientists suspect that tobacco smoke and the ferric oxide in welding fumes also combine to multiply your risk of getting cancer.
-
Dangerous chemicals
can enter your body when you breathe them, swallow them, or get them
on your skin. The dust from some chemicals, like lead or cadmium, may
collect on your cigarettes. Then, when you put a cigarette to your lips
and inhale, you are not only taking in tobacco smoke, you are also taking
in extra toxics.
5. Smokers are more likely to have job injuries because they can be distracted by eye irritation, coughing or having only one hand free.

How
Construction Work Can Affect Your Health
It’s not always
easy to recognize when health problems are related to your work. Don’t
ignore headaches, frequent colds and coughs, dizziness, skin problems or
other symptoms you think may be related to your job. They may be caused
by chemicals or other conditions at work.
| HEAD Dizziness, headaches. Common causes: Solvents, ozone, noise, eye strain, smoke (including tobacco). |
EYES Red, watery, irritated. Common causes: Cement, wood dust, fiberglass, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
|
| NOSE & THROAT Sneezing, coughing, sore throat. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, solvents, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco). |
CHEST & LUNGS Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, lung cancer. Common causes: Cement, fiberglass, wood dust, welding fumes, smoke (including tobacco), solvents. |
|
| SKIN Redness, dryness, rash, itching, skin cancer. Common causes: Solvents, cement, fiberglass, wood dust. |
STOMACH Nausea, vomiting, stomach ache. Common causes: Some wood dust, solvents, long-term lead exposure, job stress. |
|
| NERVOUS SYSTEM Nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, tremors. Common causes: Long-term solvent exposure, longterm lead exposure, job stress. |
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM For men: low sperm count, damage to sperm. For women: irregularities in menstruation, miscarriage, damage to egg or fetus. Common causes: Lead, toluene, some other solvents. |
How Do I Know If the Construction Job I’m Working on Is Hazardous?
To
figure out what the hazards of a particular construction job may be, ask
these questions and check the chart on the following pages. The chart also
suggests important control measures that can be taken to protect workers.1. Is there a lot of dust in the air?
-
The air on construction
sites, especially during demolition work, can contain asbestos,
silica, cement dust, fiberglass and wood dust. Most of these dusts
can irritate your eyes, nose and lungs. Some can cause bronchitis, asthma
and even cancer.
-
Varnishes, wood
sealers, paints, thinners, adhesives and many other construction
materials contain solvents. They can get into your body through your skin
or when you breathe the vapors. Solvents can give you headaches and make
you dizzy. If you work with them for many years, they may damage your
liver or nervous system.
-
Many construction
materials — like adhesives, sealants, waterproofing agents,
floor and wall coverings — are made up of isocyanate (the
raw material for polyurethane) or epoxy resin systems. The chemicals in
these systems can get into your body through your skin, or when you breathe
the mists or vapors. They can irritate your nose, eyes, throat and lungs.
Some people may develop an allergic reaction, similar to asthma.

What are other trades doing nearby?-
In construction work,
someone else’s work may produce welding fumes, chemical vapors, asphalt
smoke or other toxic hazards. These can affect everyone in the vicinity.
Be aware of what other trades are doing, and protect yourself.
-
If you or someone
else smokes on the job, you’re being exposed to many more toxic substances.
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals.

|
|
| ASBESTOS | Maintenance and demolition work; roof tear-offs. Construction: floor tile, roofing materials, drywall compounds, gaskets, packing materials, electric insulation, corrosion resistant coatings, heat resistant materials, asbestos cement pipe and sheet. | Short-term: Lung irritation (if very high levels). Long-term: Asbestosis (scarring of the lungs); cancer of the lung, stomach, and intestinal tract. Asbestos workers who smoke have over 10 times the cancer risk of asbestos workers who do not smoke. |
| SILICA | Maintenance; remodeling; demolition work; application of fireproof coatings; sandblasting; tunneling. | Long-term: Serious, incurable lung disease (silicosis). |
| CEMENT | Construction and demolition of foundations, sidewalks and floors. | Short-term: Eye, nose, skin and lung irritation. Causes skin rashes and infection. Allergic skin rashes. Long-term: Small decrease in lung function, wheezing, shortness of breath. |
| WOOD DUST | Construction, remodeling and demolition. Sawing: wood, plywood, particle board. | Short-term: Allergic skin rash, asthma, nasal irritation, skin and eye irritation. Long-term: Nasal cancer. |
| FIBERGLASS & OTHER INSULATION MATERIALS | Insulation on pipes, other insulation, air conditioning. | Short-term: Skin, eye, nose and throat irritation; shortness of breath. Long-term: May cause lung cancer. |
| CONTROLS FOR DUSTS | |
| ASBESTOS | Asbestos
removal jobs may be done only by licensed asbestos contractors. Isolate asbestos work and provide exhaust ventilation or dust collecting device. Keep material wet while removing it. Wear special protective clothing and correct respirators. Remove clothing and shower before leaving enclosed area. Post caution signs and labels. Smoking should be prohibited. |
| OTHER DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
Construction Hazards : Metals - Dusts & Fumes
|
Dusts & Fumes |
|
|
| CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, COPPER, ZINC, MAGNESIUM | Welding; drilling, cutting and sawing pipes; scraping rust or coatings. | Short-term:
Metal dusts can be irritating to skin, nose, eyes and lungs.
Effects of fumes differ depending on metal (see MSDS). Some
metals (such as zinc, copper, and magnesium) cause metal fume fever
(flu-like symptoms with fever, nausea, chills and muscular aches and
pains). Long-term: Depends on metal (see MSDS). Cadmium and chromium can cause cancer. |
| LEAD | Cable splicing, demolition, remodeling, painting, pipefitting, plumbing, roofing, sheetmetal, iron work, welding on lead or surfaces with lead paint or coatings; brass fixtures may release lead. | Short-term:
Effects are very rare. If exposure is high, symptoms similar to long-term
effects may occur. Long-term: Damage to brain and nerves (tremors, muscular weakness, lack of coordination), damage to reproductive systems (men and women), stomach problems, anemia, damage to kidneys. |
| CONTROLS FOR METALS | |
| METAL DUSTS | Wear
the correct respirator if required (not a paper dust mask). Vacuum or wipe off surfaces using wet mop or rags. (Avoid sweeping and blowing away dusts to clear surfaces.) Keep work materials wet where possible when sanding, grinding, sawing, etc. Don’t drink, eat or smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating and before breaks. Change clothing and, where possible, shower before going home. Use local exhaust ventilation if not working in an open area. Isolate dusty operations such as sawing and sanding to reduce worker exposure. |
| METAL FUMES | Avoid
welding on toxic metals or coatings; brush or scrub off coatings first. Natural ventilation is often adequate in open areas. Position yourself so that fumes don’t blow into your face. Use local exhaust ventilation in indoor areas or confined spaces. Wear the correct respirator when ventilation or other controls are not possible. Lead: Shower and change clothes to avoid bringing lead home to your family. |
Construction Hazards : Solvents
|
|
|
|
| BENZENE | Causes leukemia. | These
solvents may be found in: Varnishes Finishes Wood sealers Thinners Paints Adhesives Cleaning and degreasing solutions Other products |
| METHYLENE CHLORIDE | May cause cancer. | |
| TOLUENE | Liver and kidney damage at high levels. May cause birth defects. | |
| TRICHLORO-ETHYLENE | Liver damage. May cause cancer. |
|
|
|
| Most
solvents you work with, including acetone, TCE or other degreasers,
affect your health in similar ways: Short-term: Most organic solvents affect the brain the same way drinking alcohol does. Overexposure causes symptoms resembling drunkenness, including headaches, "feeling high," nausea, dizziness, and at high levels, loss of coordination. Other short-term health effects are eye, nose and throat irritation, and skin rash. Long-term: Repeated, frequent overexposure over months or years may cause long-lasting damage to the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). |
Where
possible, substitute materials that are less toxic. Use ventilation to remove vapors. Wear the correct respirator (refer to MSDS). Wear proper protective clothing, correct gloves, goggles, face shields. No smoking. No open flame nearby. Vapors can build up quickly and become extremely dangerous in confined spaces. Follow OSHA confined space entry procedures where required. (These include pretesting atmosphere before entry; mechanical ventilation of space; respirators; rescue person.) Many fatalities occur in confined spaces. |
Construction Hazards : Other Chemicals
|
|
|
|
| EPOXY RESINS | Impermeable paint, primer for hardwood floors, surface paint and adhesive for concrete walls.. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma. |
| POLYURETHANES (ISOCYANATES) | Seam sealers, polyurethane insulation, electrical wire coatings. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Long-term: Asthma, other allergic lung diseases. May cause cancer. If workers get sensitized to these chemicals, they will become seriously ill at the slightest exposure. |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Roofing, road work. | Short-term:
Irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Burns, skin irritation,
increased sensitivity to sunlight. Long-term: Cancer of the lungs, skin and other parts of the body. |
| CONTROLS FOR OTHER CHEMICALS | |
| EPOXY RESINS AND POLYURETHANES | When
possible, use one-component products where chemicals are already polymerized.
When spraying, use the correct air-supplied full face respirator (see MSDS). Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear safety goggles and gloves. Get proper training. Never smoke or use an open flame around these chemicals, which are fire and explosion hazards.. DANGER! If you smell it, get out! |
| COAL TAR PITCH | Where
possible, substitute less harmful materials such as coal tar enamel.
Keep melt temperature as low as possible. Install devices to reduce exposure when loading. Keep kettle covers in good shape and closed whenever possible. Wet down old pitch roofs before and during tear-offs. If dust is high, wear the correct respirator. Wear eye protection. Protect the skin, even in hot weather. Launder work clothes often. Wash up before eating, smoking, drinking and going home. If soap and water are not available use waterless cleaner, not gasoline. |
Some
of the Chemicals in Cigarette SmokeThere are over 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. More than 50 of them are known to be carcinogens (to cause cancer).

Secondhand Smoke Facts
|
You may be smoking, whether or not you ever put a cigarette in your mouth. If you work where people smoke, you may inhale the equivalent of a pack a day of other people's smoke. Here are some facts about secondhand smoke. |
welding
on the construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also
contains carbon monoxide, so you are getting a much larger dose. Long-term
exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
The Odds Against Tobacco Users’ Health
SMOKING
Smoking causes:
• 90% of lung cancer deaths
• 80% of emphysema and chronic bronchitis deaths
• 30% of cancer deaths
• 20% of heart disease deaths
Each year, over 400,000 Americans die prematurely because of smoking. Smoking kills more Americans each year than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, car crashes, fires and AIDS combined. Smoking also causes impotence.
CHEWING TOBACCO
Smokeless tobacco is not a safe alternative to smoking. Chewing tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, larynx and esophagus. Long-term “chew” users are 50 times more likely to get cancer of the cheek and gum than non-users. Chewing tobacco contains arsenic, cyanide, lead and benzene. It also contains fiberglass and dirt, which cause abrasions on the skin so the tobacco can enter the bloodstream more readily. Chewers get three times as much nicotine as smokers. It can be even harder to quit chew than cigarettes.
QUITTING
In the last 25 years, nearly half of all American adults who ever smoked have quit. Millions and millions of people have quit. But most smokers try several times before they quit permanently. Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. The reason people use tobacco is to satisfy their addiction to nicotine. Quitting smoking or chewing tobacco can be at least as difficult as quitting cocaine or heroin.
DON’T GIVE UP

Combining Tobacco Smoke & Workplace Toxics
When tobacco smoke combines with other toxics in the workplace, there is extra danger to your health.
1. Some combinations ADD TO the odds against your health.
-
If you smoke, your
lungs aren’t as good at keeping other chemicals out. Tobacco smoke
damages your lungs’ ability to protect themselves against other
toxic substances you may inhale.
LUNGS: The odds of construction workers getting bronchitis, asthma or other lung diseases are high because you may work with asphalt, coal tar, treated wood and other lung hazards. Tobacco smoke makes it harder for your lungs to get rid of those chemicals.
Smoking also means more chemicals for your body to handle. Your body may be able to stand small amounts of some chemicals, but not larger amounts. Tobacco smoke can cause higher levels of the same harmful chemicals you’re already exposed to on the job. It also adds other harmful chemicals.
HEART: Welding on a construction site produces carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide. You may not feel sick with a 5 to 10% level of carbon monoxide in your blood. But a 10 to 20% level can cause headaches and make you abnormally tired. Long-term exposure to carbon monoxide weakens the heart.
-
Some toxics can
work together inside your body to strengthen each other’s power
to cause disease. This is called synergy. For example, the odds against
your health multiply when you combine tobacco smoke with asbestos:
Scientists suspect that tobacco smoke and the ferric oxide in welding fumes also combine to multiply your risk of getting cancer.
-
Dangerous chemicals
can enter your body when you breathe them, swallow them, or get them
on your skin. The dust from some chemicals, like lead or cadmium, may
collect on your cigarettes. Then, when you put a cigarette to your lips
and inhale, you are not only taking in tobacco smoke, you are also taking
in extra toxics.
5. Smokers are more likely to have job injuries because they can be distracted by eye irritation, coughing or having only one hand free.

“Pues,

en su salud, que mañana no voy a estar aquí.” “Well, we work out of necessity, for the family. But you have to think about your health — that tomorrow, I might not be here.” |
There are different ways to reduce chemical hazards on the job. The best ways are to stop using the most toxic materials, or to design the work and equipment so that no one is exposed to toxics.
USE SAFER CHEMICALS.
Sometimes you can use a substance that is less toxic. For example, many of the materials you work with contain solvents. Water-based or alcohol-based solvents are usually safer than “chlorinated hydrocarbons” (solvents with chlorine in them) and “aromatic hydrocarbons” (like toluene and xylene). But always check out the hazards of the substitute to make sure it is really less hazardous.
DESIGN THE JOB AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT EXPOSURE TO TOXICS.
It’s better to prevent the hazard from ever reaching a worker than to rely on protective clothing or gear. For example, local exhaust ventilation (a “sucker” that pulls dust or welding fumes away right at the source) gets rid of a toxic substance before anyone has a chance to breathe it.
ENFORCE SAFETY RULES.
Work rules and procedures can help cut down on your exposure to toxics. For example, keeping the workplace clean can limit the amount of dusts in the air and help reduce other safety hazards. Workers should never eat or smoke in the work area. California’s law prohibiting smoking in indoor workplaces eliminates exposure to secondhand smoke. Some employers and local governments also ban smoking in outdoor areas.
GIVE WORKERS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IF NECESSARY.
Goggles, gloves, respirators and other personal protective equipment can help protect you gainst toxic hazards on the job, but they don’t usually protect you completely. They shield you from hazards rather than eliminating them. That’s why you should rely on personal protective equipment only if there is no better way to control the problem.

Use the Right Respirator
Respirators
can be hot and uncomfortable. You don’t want to wear one if you don’t
have to. They also aren’t as effective as some other kinds of protection.
But if there is no way to remove a harmful material from the air you are
breathing (by using a safer chemical, better ventilation or other controls),
you will need to use a respirator to protect yourself. Here are some guidelines
to help you decide if you’re getting the right protection.1. Your employer must set up a respiratory protection program.
-
If you need to use
a respirator on the job, Cal/OSHA requires your employer to set up a “respiratory
protection program.” The program should help you choose the right
respirator, make sure it fits, and get training about how to use it and
take care of it.
-
You can check the
label on the respirator or on its cartridge to find out what hazards it
protects you from. Make sure it is approved by “NIOSH” for protection
against the hazards you’re working with.
- DUST MASKS
protect only against wood dusts and other dusts that are
not very toxic. They don’t protect you against spray
mists or toxic dusts like asbestos, silica or lead. They also will not
protect you against chemical vapors or secondhand smoke. If you use
a dust mask, make sure it has a double strap and a good nose grip. Never
rely on single strap masks.
- DUAL CARTRIDGE
RESPIRATORS
protect against various hazards. These respirators use pairs of filters
or cartridges. Different filters and cartridges protect against different
hazards.
Use the right MECHANICAL FILTER for dusts, metal fumes and mists.
Use the right CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE for toxic gases and vapors from solvents or paints.
Use a COMBINATION RESPIRATOR for all the above — dusts, fumes, mists, gases and vapors. Combination respirators are available for any set of inhalation hazards.
- AIR-SUPPLIED
RESPIRATORS give you fresh air from a tank or through an airline.
Use them when you work in a confined space where there is not enough
oxygen to breathe.
CAUTION: If there is a rip or tear in the mask, it will not protect you from any hazards.
| CAUTION: If you have heart disease or respiratory problems, you should check with your doctor before using a respirator. |
-
No one respirator
will fit everyone. If your respirator does not fit properly on your face,
it will leak. You cannot tell if it fits by how it feels. The law requires
your employer to test the fit to make sure no vapors or dusts can leak
in around the edges.
-
Your respirator must
be kept clean, and the cartridges or filters should be changed regularly.
A respirator with a worn-out cartridge is worse than no respirator at
all. (It’s not protecting you, but it’s making it harder to
breathe.)
| CAUTION: If you have a beard, it is impossible to get a proper fit with most respirators. |
Tips for Taking Action
Once you have decided to try to improve health and safety on the job, you need to do some planning. Here are some tips for coming up with a realistic action plan.
Get support of co-workers.
-
No matter whether
you’re trying to get your employer to supply respirators that fit,
install a ventilation system or establish an outdoor workplace smoking
policy, the first and most important step to take is to get the
support of your co-workers.
-
It takes time to
convince co-workers that it’s worth taking some action to eliminate
a hazard. In many workplaces, people have found it useful to:
- Seek help from
the union (or consider organizing one).
- Take a survey
of the workforce to document the symptoms and illnesses that seem to
be related to each worker’s job.
- Identify other
workers who are concerned.
- Identify resources
for information and help.
- Have a meeting.
- Form a health
and safety committee, or join one that’s already been set up.
- Form a group to meet with the employer, or choose a co-worker the employer will listen to.
-
Some employers take
their responsibility for providing a safe workplace seriously. Once they
understand that conditions on their sites can cause serious health problems,
they will attempt to cooperate in changing them. Some possible approaches
are:
- Explain how serious
the problem is.
- Explain how many
workers’ compensation claims there could be, and point out that
they could be expensive and increase insurance rates.
- Show how production,
absenteeism and morale will improve if hazards are reduced.
- Show the advantages
of a health and safety committee.
- nsurance carrier
about health and safety services the insurer may provide.
- Tell them about Cal/OSHA’s free consultation service for employers.
-
When employers don’t
cooperate, workers still can:
- Seek help from
a union (or consider organizing one).
- File a grievance
(if there’s a contract).
- File a Cal/OSHA
complaint or get someone else to file one.
- File a complaint
with the National Labor Relations Board.
- Tell the press
about the problem. Go public in the community.
- Consider a job action or strike (only as a last resort).
THE RIGHT TO A SAFE WORKPLACE.
-
(California Labor
Code §6400, 6401)
- A written plan
with the name of the person who is responsible for health and safety
on the job.
- Information and
training for workers about possible hazards, given in a language that
workers understand.
- A system for
inspecting the workplace and correcting hazards promptly.
- A system for
workers to report hazards without fear of being fired or punished in
any way.
Both the federal and California Occupational Safety and Health Acts say that an employer must provide a workplace that is free from hazards and meets health and safety standards.
In California, Cal/OSHA regulations also say that your employer must set up an effective injury and illness prevention program (General Industry Safety Order 3203). This regulation requires:
-
(California Labor
Code §6404.5)
- “Indoor”
means four walls and a ceiling. It doesn’t matter whether there
are windows, louvers or sliding doors that open.
- Smoking is permitted in outdoor workplaces, unless an employer or a local ordinance bans it.
- Employers may
provide breakrooms for smokers, as long as they meet ventilation requirements
and as long as employers also provide non-smoking breakrooms.
- If smoking is
allowed in your indoor workplace, you have the right to file a complaint.
Different cities and counties have different enforcement agencies. Check
with your local health department to find the enforcement agency in
your area. If your employer has had three violations within a year,
you can file a complaint with Cal/OSHA.
California law says that no one shall smoke or permit smoking in an enclosed workplace.
-
(California Labor
Code §6398, 6399, 6408)
You have the right to know which toxic materials you work with and how they may harm you. You also have the right to see the results of any tests done to measure chemicals in your workplace. You may see your medical records, and records of injuries and illnesses related to work.
-
(California Labor
Code §6309)
The fastest way to correct a hazard may be to deal with your employer directly. But if this doesn’t work, you have the right to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA. The law allows you to file a complaint confidentially. Cal/OSHA won’t reveal who made the complaint.
-
(California Labor
Code §6310)
An employer may not fire you, or punish you in any way, for using the rights listed here. If your employer discriminates against you for using your health and safety rights, contact your union and/or the nearest office of the State Labor Commissioner.
In some cases, you also have the right to refuse to do an unsafe job without reprisal if there is a “real and apparent hazard.” Before refusing to do hazardous work, always try to get your employer to correct the hazard and/or inform Cal/OSHA about it.
-
(California Labor
Code §6401, 6403)
The law requires that the employer provide you with safety and protective equipment which is “reasonably adequate” to let you do the job safely — like gloves, safety glasses and respirators. You are not responsible for the cost.
-
(California Labor
Code §3600)
If a job hazard injures you or makes you sick, or if it makes a previous health problem get worse, workers’ comp will pay a percentage of your wage while you are recovering. Workers’ comp also pays for related medical expenses. For details on how to collect these benefits, call the toll-free number of the Workers' Compensation Information and Assistance Unit (1-800-736-7401). You may also wish to contact a workers' comp lawyer.
-
(California Labor
Code §9040)
The law requires that employers give free medical tests to anyone who works with asbestos, lead and a few other specific hazardous materials. The law also says that your employer must tell you the results of these tests.
