SUMMARY:New OSHA Silica Dust Standard Overview & Compliance
DESCRIPTION:On September 23\, OSHA's new Silica Dust Standard went into effect.  The new standard requires a more stringent "permissible exposure limit"\, moving from approximately 250 micrograms per cubic meter of air to 50 micrograms over an 8 hour day.\n\nKEY POINTS FROM THE NEW SILICA DUST STANDARD \n\nOSHA offers three methods an employer can choose from to demonstrate compliance and assess employee exposure:\n\n1. Table 1: a table of pre-defined tasks and specified control methods\n\n2. Performance or 'Objective Data': assess exposure by providing objective data proving the control method used reduces silica dust exposure below the permissible exposure level\n\n3. Scheduled Air Monitoring program: assess exposure by implementing a scheduled air monitoring program to ensure employees are not exposed above 50 micrograms\n\n\n\nEmployers are required to have a written exposure control plan.\n\nMedical surveillance (exams) must be offered for employees required by the standard to wear a respirator for 30 or more days per year.
