Construction Companies: You have Until September 23, 2017 to Achieve Silica Standard Compliance
OSHA’s new regulatory standard for construction companies regarding occupational exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) has been extended to September 23, 2017. After this date, silica exposure control, respiratory protection programs, employee training and recordkeeping will be compulsory, and those who have not adopted the required silica standard will be subject to fines.

Date: September 23, 2017
OSHA estimates that over 2.3 million workers are exposed to airborne dust containing respirable silica and that 90% of those workers are employed in construction—making the construction industry a target for inspections. Are you prepared?
““H&A’s Silica Compliance Toolkit was without question an excellent investment and made compliance with this standard a breeze. The written programs were easy to implement and the training presentations are professional and simple to use. H&A was responsive to the few questions we had—it was really a turnkey solution.”
