Occupational dust exposure. Occupational dust exposure occurs when small particles are generated at the workplace through the disturbance/agitation of rock/ mineral, dry grain, timber, fiber, or other material. When these small particles become suspended in the air, they can pose a risk to the health of those who breath in the contaminated air.
