Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Research revealed that the safety measures of wooden frames had action the most eliminating hazards or modifying processes and assembly was the same. The total dust content passed all standard values. The eliminating hazards or modifying processes and engineering controls were statistically correlated with total dust content at 0.05 level
