Edition 1. Introduction. This programme outlines the commitment of government to significantly reduce the prevalence of Silicosis by 2015 and to totally eliminate Silicosis in workplaces by 2030 in line with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Global Programme for the Elimination of Silicosis.
The video raises awareness that silica dust can cause severe lung damage, including silicosis. It explains that emissions from dust-generating processes must be minimised, organisational measures should be taken to separate workers from dust as well as respirators be used to reduce exposure.
Anyone who works at a construction site or quarry could breathe in silica dust. We explain why this is harmful and how to manage exposure.
9 Σεπ 2021 · There are a wide variety of control measures that can help reduce elevated silica dust levels, including those ranging from choosing tools that can help reduce dust creation to cleaning procedures as well as wearing appropriate respiratory protection equipment.
