Silica Awareness - Protecting Workers from Silica --

What do street sweeping, sandblasting, dry walling, cutting stone or brick, and working in a dusty environment have in common? All expose workers to silica dust, which can lead to silicosis - an often fatal lung disease - and other serious illnesses. Exposure to silica dust is so common and dangerous that OSHA is considering strengthening its rules. Learn about the health hazards of silica, the OSHA regulations, and how to protect workers from overexposure.
