• Stop the dust. Brothers and sisters working in the final grind area of the Machining cell, the continuous spewing of dust and particulates in your area is not good for your respiratory system. Inhaled carbon fiber particulates cannot be expelled efficiently. Prolonged inhalation of any kind of dust will cause medical problems. If you notice excessive amounts of dust inform your supervisor\groupleader or steward immediately. This dust comes from areas outside of your work area and is not being filtered properly due to the inadequate dust collection system. Fill out stop safety cards at every opportunity until this issue is resolved.
