Silica Dust Workplace Exposure

Why Your Company Needs Silica Testing

Respirable crystalline silica is found in materials like concrete, brick, stone, and sand. When workers cut, grind, or drill these materials, they can inhale dangerous silica dust. OSHA’s silica standard requires medical surveillance to protect workers and keep your company compliant.

What OSHA Requires for Silica Exposure

If your workers cut, grind, drill, or handle silica-containing materials, OSHA’s silica standard applies to your operation. Companies above the action level must provide:

  • Engineering Controls: Ventilation systems, water suppression, or other methods to reduce airborne silica dust at the source.
  • Safe Work Practices: Procedures that minimize dust generation during cutting, grinding, drilling, or material handling.
  • Medical Surveillance: Baseline and periodic silica physical exams to monitor worker respiratory health.
  • Respirator Fit Testing: Testing to verify proper fit and seal of respiratory protection equipment for workers who use respirators.
