Is "tube sand" safe for the run?

I was looking at some tube sand, the kind used in construction, to put in my run, but I was worried about it because it is a warning label. It says lots things on it about not breathing in the dust, avoiding eye contact, etc.

Do I need to get "play sand" instead?
 
I have found that the medium coarse sand is the best. Play sand is too fine. It usually doesn't get too dusty, except for when you're adding it. A quick mist with the hose takes care of that. Also, be sure the sand is sanitized or you may be adding some diseases to the coop. I've had great results using the 60 lb bags of medium coarse sanitized construction sand from Home Depot.
