Steps

  1. Confirm the task matches the Table 1 entry under 29 CFR 1926.1153: handheld power saw cutting fiber-cement board with blade diameter of 8 inches or less
  2. Perform the cutting outdoors only, since the Table 1 method for this task applies to outdoor use
  3. Equip the saw with a commercially available dust-collection system providing at least the airflow the tool manufacturer recommends
  4. Use a dust-collector filter rated at 99% or greater efficiency and maintain the tool per the manufacturer's instructions
  5. Document that these controls were fully and properly implemented, which removes the respirator requirement regardless of shift length
