    Respirators are not enough. OSHA  offers two compliance paths: “Table 1”  from the rule, and “Objective Data” based  on testing performed by respective tool  manufacturers. Respirators aren’t often  needed within either compliance path,  while dust-control methods almost  always are.  

When a respirator is required, Table 1  indicates whether it needs to be rated  APF 10 or, in some cases, APF 25. Some  dust-control methods, like the grinder  shroud and dust extractor shown here,  might still require the use of a respirator  depending upon the duration of the task.  Grinder shrouds, like this one from Metabo,  are becoming readily available from most  power-tool manufacturers.
