If you run out of water while controlling dust, what should you do?

Keep working until the task is complete
Use an alternative dust control method
Stop and refill the water
Switch to a different tool

The correct answer is: Stop and refill the water

When managing dust control on a construction site, running out of water significantly impacts your ability to effectively suppress dust particles. Water is often the primary method used to keep dust from becoming airborne, which can lead to both health hazards and reduced visibility. Therefore, stopping to refill the water is critical to ensure that dust control measures can continue to be effective. Choosing to cease operations temporarily until you can refill the water demonstrates a commitment to safety and compliance with regulations regarding dust management. In many cases, continuing work without adequate dust control can create unsafe working conditions, potentially harming workers and nearby communities. Other alternatives may not provide the same level of control or could be impractical, making the approach of refilling water the most appropriate in maintaining compliance and safety standards on the job site.
