Cómo controlar: respirable crystalline silica
- Do not use banned engineered stone products, and choose lower-silica materials or pre-cut components where possible.
- Use water suppression or on-tool extraction connected to a vacuum rated for hazardous dust when cutting, grinding or drilling.
- Clean up with wet methods or a vacuum rated for hazardous dust, and never dry sweep or use compressed air.
- Arrange air monitoring to confirm exposures stay below the workplace exposure standard for respirable crystalline silica.
- Provide health monitoring for workers at significant risk from silica exposure, as WHS laws require.
- Wear fit-tested respiratory protection suited to the task, and be clean-shaven where a tight-fitting respirator is used.
