When exposed to crystalline silica, workers are at increased risk of developing silicosis, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and kidney disease. This course will train employers and employees on the awareness of hazards related to exposure. Attendees will learn key elements of OSHA’s Respirable Crystalline Silica standard for Construction (1926.1153) and the steps required to protect themselves and their employees.
Upon completion, attendees can present their certificate to their employer for consideration when being evaluated for a designation as a competent person for respirable crystalline silica hazards in the workplace.
