Breathing crystalline silica dust over time can result in silicosis, a disabling, non-reversible and sometimes fatal disease of
the lungs. United States Federal OSHA has established exposure limits for employees. Avoid exposure to dust containing
crystalline silica in excess of these limits.
Crystalline silica is a basic component of sand, rock, concrete, brick, block and mortar. Many activities at construction sites
such as breaking, chipping, drilling, cutting, etc., produce dust containing crystalline silica. Air monitoring may be
necessary to determine whether jobsite conditions expose workers to excessive levels of crystalline silica dust. Depending
upon air monitoring results, the following measures may be necessary to avoid exposure to excessive levels of crystalline
silica dust:
• Perform an Exposure Assessment.
• Create a Written Exposure Control Plan.
• Housekeeping
• Medical surveillance
• Employee training
Be aware of and follow the guidelines of United States OSHA 29CRF1926.55 and 1926.1153, or other applicable
regulatory guidelines. This includes having a jobsite plan for mitigating hazards.
WARNING: Breathing crystalline silica puts workers at increased risk of developing
serious silica-related diseases including: silicosis, lung cancer, kidney disease, Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Death or serious illness could result. Avoid
exposure to crystalline silica dust according to OSHA guideline 29 CFR 1926.1153.
