Is Tile Floor Removal Dangerous?

Yes, Tile Floor Removal is dangerous.

Tile Floor Removal without the correct PPE and power tools/equipment will create a harmful silica dust environment. It’s also possible to be injured by tools as well as injured from the Tile Floor Removal process.

SERIOUS INJURIES: Sometimes, tiny pieces of concrete or splinters of wood can fly in the air during the Tile Floor Removal process. These pieces of concrete or splinters of wood can accidentally hit your eye, causing serious damage, if not blindness. The tools required to perform this task are also dangerous for people who are not highly skilled in using them.

– ACCIDENTAL INJURIES: It’s easy to look up a guide on what tools to use, but injuries often occur from a lack of knowledge of how to use these tools safely.

– PERMANENT LUNG DAMAGE: Inhaling dangerous silica dust by not using the correct PPE and Dust Extractors can be deadly.

The longer silicosis goes without treatment, the more likely it is to develop a complication. Because the disease affects the immune system, silicosis patients are vulnerable to developing tuberculosis, lung cancer, COPD, and kidney disease.

– Lung Cancer
– Kidney Disease
– Autoimmune Disease
– Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Breathing in very small (“respirable”) crystalline silica particles causes multiple diseases, including silicosis, an incurable lung disease that leads to disability and death. Respirable crystalline silica also causes lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and kidney disease.
