OSHA'S NEW regulation for SILICA

  went into full effect September 23, 2017!

This affects YOU if you work with CONCRETE, CONCRETE BLOCKS, DRYWALL, SANDBLASTING, TUCK POINTING, GLASS, JACK-HAMMERING, ROCK CRUSHING, OR HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATORS.

Per OSHA's Small Entity Compliance Guide:  Each employer that exposes employees to respirable crystalline silica must have a written exposure control plan and a properly trained Competent Person to implement the plan. One Competent Person is required for employers with less than 20 employees, 5 for 20 to 499 employees, and 10 for 500+ employees.

 Full compliance was required by September 23, 2017, to write a Silica Compliance Program and a Respiratory Protection Plan.  Employees must be trained on what Silica is, what products contain it, what are the health effects of exposure, options available to protect the employee, and respiratory protection.

You can spend weeks studying the rule and attempt to write your own program, or, attend our class and learn it in one day.  We have read through the over 400 pages of OSHA's "Final Rule" and have consulted with OSHA over the past 3 years to offer YOU the following classes in order to help you comply.
