This section requires control of dust from drilling in rock and protection for people exposed to inhalation hazards. It requires approved respiratory equipment for short exposures and other protective measures for prolonged exposures.

People briefly exposed to inhalation hazards from gas, dust, fumes, or mist must receive respiratory equipment approved by the Secretary and the Secretary of Health and Human Services. For prolonged exposure, other measures must be taken to protect those people or reduce the hazard.
