OSHA estimates 2.3 million American workers are exposed to respirable crystalline silica within their job site or manufacturing plant, where over 80% of the workers that are exposed to silica dust are in the construction industry. Exposure to respirable crystalline silica is a health concern for exposed workers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently updated the silica standard to increase the protection of workers through:
- Exposure identification sampling
- Medical evaluations
- Continued medical surveillance
- Lower Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL)
- Specific guideline for sand blasting operations
- Requiring a silica exposure control program
- Addressing appropriate hazard exposure control
