Silica, present in concrete dust, is a hazardous material and is the focus of OSHA regulation 1926.1153. 29 CFR 1926.1153 went into effect in June 2016 and required compliance on
202491;Crystalline silica is found in sand, stone, concrete and mortar. It is also used to make a variety of products including artificial stone products (such as kitchen and bathroom
Respirable crystalline silica – very small particles at least 100 times smaller than ordinary sand you might find on beaches and playgrounds – is created when cutting, sawing, grinding,
Crystalline Silica (silica) is a mineral commonly found in rock, stone, sand, concrete, asphalt and masonry material. Silica becomes a health hazard when these materials are broken up or
Concrete is a mixture of gravel or rock, sand, Portland Cement and water. It may also contain fly ash, slag, silica fume, calcined clay, fibers (metallic or organic) and color pigment. Properties
821;The silica hazard exists when various construction activities such as sawing, grinding, drilling crushing, etc. generates respirable dust that is released into the air. Why is
Applying water to a saw blade when cutting materials that contain crystalline silica — such as stone, rock, concrete, brick, and block — substantially reduces the amount of dust created during these operations. Crushing Machines Fact
Most concrete and masonry products contain high amounts of silica. When you cut or grind these products, you are being exposed to silica if measures are not taken. Although most diseases
Exposure to crystalline silica is a common hazard in tasks and industries where materials containing silica are manipulated or processed. Industry Tasks Materials Construction Cutting,
227;Crystalline silica refers to a group of minerals composed of silicon and oxygen found in asphalt, concrete and rocks. Respirable refers to the silica being small enough to
C rystalline silica is found in several construction materials, such as block, mortar and concrete, usually in the form of quartz. Tasks that cut, break, grind, abrade or drill those materials can

Silica dust can cause silicosis, a serious and irreversible lung disease. It can also cause lung cancer. Cutting, breaking, crushing, drilling, grinding, or blasting concrete or stone releases the dust. As workers breathe in the dust the silica
201788;The U.S Department of Labor will start enforcing its new concrete silica dust ruling for construction on September 23, 2017 (moved from June 23, 2017). With those new
