Course Description: Barely visible, but dangerous nonetheless, respirable crystalline silica is the byproduct of sawing, drilling, and crushing concrete, stone, and brick. The dust particles are small enough to be inhaled deep into the lungs, where they can cause serious illness and fatal disease. Learn about the OSHA standard that includes specific measures for employers to protect employees from exposure, including engineering controls, work practices, and respirators.
