(2 RC) - This document lays out the regulations for all occupational exposures to respirable crystalline silica in construction work. It provides specific exposure control methods for an extensive list of construction tasks involving crystalline silica.
(1 RC) - This document aims to inform the reader of the respiratory hazards of crystalline silica and to propose two new protective standards, one for general industry and maritime, and the other for construction. The fact sheet explains the routes of exposure and the negative effects of crystalline silica on respiratory health. The chief end of this document is to present the necessary means for employers to tailor their work environment protect their employees.
