Course Description
Our OSHA Silica Awareness Training course offers a comprehensive overview of the hazards associated with exposure to respirable crystalline silica (silica dust) and details the control measures that can be implemented to maintain exposure within safe limits.
Silica compounds are naturally occurring in the environment and can also be synthesized. These compounds frequently expose workers to silica dust levels that exceed the permissible exposure limit (PEL) established by OSHA's Respirable Crystalline Silica Standards.
