18 Φεβ 2020 · Silica Dust-Producing Tasks. Controlling Silica Dust. Create-A-Plan to Control the Dust from CPWR. Respirators should not be the primary method of protection. If engineering controls cannot keep dust levels below the OSHA PEL (50μg/m 3), then respirators should be used. Always use NIOSH-approved respirators.
Both national and international disease registries and silica surveillance programs are needed to track new cases of silicosis and other silica-related diseases so that public health programs can tailor education, outreach, and prevention strategies based on accurate incidence and prevalence data.
OSHA issued a final rule on March 24, 2016, to improve protections for workers from exposure to silica on the job. The rule limits the permissible exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air, which is averaged over an 8-hour shift.
The good news is that silicosis is 100% preventable. You can work with silica-containing materials in ways that do not result in exposure to dust. FACTS. New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 34:5-182) prohibits dry cutting and dry grinding of masonry materials.
