- (a) the hazards and health effects of inhaling RCS dust;
- (b) safe work practices and procedures;
- (c) the correct operation and use of any required equipment and engineering controls;
- (d) the purpose and limitations of personal protection equipment, and the correct selection, fitting, use, care, and maintenance of that equipment;
