    As I was checking out the “What’s New” section at NIOSH for the month of July, the topic Jackhammers caught my attention. NIOSH was specifically addressing hazardous dusts workers are exposed to when breaking concrete pavement and some safety precautions.

    That started me thinking about all the hazards construction workers using jackhammers have to be aware of and protective steps they need to take. Noise is often one of the most common safety hazards that’s forgotten when working with power tools. Damage to the ears isn’t as obvious and can develop over time. Considering all the proper PPE required is important!

    Ladies want to see that amazing upper body you developed from working that jackhammer – not the injuries.
