On June 23 2016, the US Government finally put in place a new law to protect American workers from Silicosis. This was heralded as a major breakthrough for American workers by the industry. It was long overdue – Silicosis from blasting with Silica Sand has long been known to be a killer. It’s a bit like blasting with Asbestos.
There is now less than 30 days to go until you need to be in compliance with OSHA’s Silica Rule. By now contractors should have gone through steps 1-8 in the ‘BlastOne OSHA Silica Sand Rule Compliance Workbook’.
Anyone is able to download this workbook and read through it.
More information is available from Silica Experts here.
