Crystalline Silica Awareness

Key Learning Objectives

Understanding what crystalline silica is: Workers learn about its properties, where it's found, and the types of jobs that may expose them to this hazard (e.g., construction, mining, manufacturing).


Health risks and safety concerns: How exposure to respirable crystalline silica can impact health, emphasizing conditions like silicosis, lung cancer, and other respiratory diseases.


Regulatory requirements: Workers are taught about OSHA's regulations and standards, including permissible exposure limits (PELs) for crystalline silica, to ensure compliance.


Exposure prevention methods: Strategies to reduce or eliminate exposure, such as engineering controls (e.g., water suppression or ventilation), safe work practices, and personal protective equipment (PPE), like respirators.


Monitoring and medical surveillance: Workers are informed about the importance of regular air monitoring, medical examinations, and medical surveillance programs to detect any early signs of health issues.


Employer and employee responsibilities: Outlines what employers and workers need to do to maintain a safe work environment, such as conducting regular hazard assessments and reporting unsafe conditions.

Training Goal

This training is crucial for anyone working in industries where they may encounter crystalline silica dust, ensuring they can recognize the hazards and protect themselves from potential harm.
