Description
Workplace illness takes the lives of thousands of workers each year. Respirable crystalline silica is a very dangerous hazardous mineral to which many workers are exposed. Approximately 2.3 million workers are exposed to crystalline silica and OSHA estimates about 40% of these workers are exposed to silica levels which exceed the current permissible exposure levels. OSHA sets and enforces standards which provide protection to the nations’ workers.
This training program will look at key points of the OSHA standard regarding respirable crystalline silica and help you protect yourself and your workers from the hazards associated with it. This course covers a basic definition of crystalline silica, as well as silica awareness training, how to recognize silica exposure and respiratory steps to take for protection.
