Description Description

Crystalline silica is a naturally occurring substance used in a wide variety of industries and construction operations. It is also a common additive in food, pharmaceutical applications, and fiber optic cables. While silica has many valuable uses, it can also present a danger when workers are exposed to excessive amounts of crystalline silica dust. To prevent harmful exposures, OSHA has developed regulations for general industry, maritime operations and the construction industry. This concise training program discusses some key requirements from these regulations as well as some safe work practices that employees can follow to protect themselves from harmful exposure to crystalline silica.

Topics covered also include:

How exposure to crystalline silica affects the human body
What requirements must be implemented by organizations under the OSHA silica standards
What engineering controls and work practice controls are used to limit exposure
Which types of respiratory protection provide protection from silica dust
What information can be found in Table 1 of the construction standard
