Crystalline Silica (Quartz) Dust
Follow these guidelines when trenching, sawing or drilling
through material that might produce dust containing crystalline
silica (quartz) dust.
1. Know the work operations where exposure to crystalline silica
may occur. Be aware of health effects of crystallline silica and
that smoking adds to the damage.
2. Follow OSHA (or other) guidelines for exposure to airborne
crystalline silica. Participate in air monitoring or training
programs offered by employer.
3. Be aware of and use available engineering controls such as
water sprays, local exhaust ventilation, and enclosed cabs
with positive pressure air conditioning.
4. Where respirators are required, wear one approved for
protection against crystalline silica-containing dust. Do not
alter respirator in any way. Workers using tight-fitting
respirators cannot have beards/mustaches which interfere
with respirator’s seal to the face.
5. If possible, change into disposable or washable work clothes
at jobsite; shower and change into clean clothing before
leaving jobsite.
6. Do not eat, drink, use tobacco products, or apply cosmetics in
areas where there is dust containing crystalline silica. Wash
hands and face before eating, drinking, smoking, or applying
cosmetics outside exposure area.
7. Store food, drink, and personal belongings away from work
area.
Other Jobsite Precautions
You may need to use different methods to safely avoid other
underground hazards. Talk with those responsible for hazards to
determine which precautions should be taken or if job should be
attempted.
