Course Summary:
Silica Safety is designed for workers, supervisors and managers who cut, grind, drill, demolish or clean up concrete, masonry and other silica-containing materials, supervise, plan and manage this work or work near those who do. Participants learn what respirable crystalline silica is, how it affects health, which tasks and site conditions increase exposure, and how to apply the hierarchy of controls, including wet methods, local exhaust ventilation, containment and proper housekeeping. The course also covers when respiratory protection or further exposure assessment is needed.

Learners work through hands-on scenarios, and successful completion requires a practical exercise and a minimum 80% on the written quiz.
