Hello all,
I just wanted to ask a question please? i have a client who cuts PVC window frames using specialised cutting equipment.
While on site and talking with Management / employees none of the employees were wearing respiratory protection.
I wanted to ask am I right in saying that cutting PVC window frames creates crystalline silica dust?
Many thanks
Lorna

Hiya Gham
They only cut the frames, all glass arrives on site to correct measurement.
They get in lengths of PVC framing and lead and make frames to suit the glass..

I've not (yet) encountered PVC containing silica; where did you find the information? Can you get an MSDS for the grade of PVC used by your client?

Hiya Paul
This client is a very very small operator and literally has nothing in place at the moment. He doesnt know what grade of PVC he uses and is in the process of finding out for me.
