Calcium carbonate is commonly used in manufacturing, construction, and other industrial applications. Although it is generally considered a low-hazard material, improper handling can expose workers to airborne dust that may irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. This lesson covers common calcium carbonate hazards, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), safe handling and storage procedures, dust control measures, and proper cleanup practices. Understanding these precautions can help employees reduce exposure, prevent injuries, and maintain a safer workplace.
