Overwhelming Negative Effects of Silica Exposure Compels OSHA Mandate!
by Blake Ryan on 03/05/17
The mounting evidence of silica dust exposure affecting construction workers nationwide has forced the Dept. of Labor to institute new OSHA regulations. The evidence illustrates that prolonged exposure to airborne silica dust causes silicosis, a debilitating lung cancer with no proven cure.
OSHA has instituted the changes in August 2016 with compliance to be enforced starting June 23rd, 2016. The mandate affects the construction industry with specific emphasis on the tile removal sector. Why? Ceramic tile removal produces large amounts of silica dust that lingers years after the job completion date.
The new Silica dust standard mandates a 50 micron dust exposure rate within an 8 hour day. The Pre-2016 exposure rate was 250 microns per day. Simply put, if silica dust is produced by machines, tools or workers then the proper OSHA compliant dust containment measures must be taken to protect the health of the worker and environment.
OSHA complaint containment companies like DUST FREE TILE REMOVAL OF FLORIDA has been working within this new mandate for several years. For more information visit the corporate website or call directly toll free at 888-472-5115.
