OSHA begins enforcement of the Respirable Crystalline Silica standard for general industry and maritime on June 23, 2018, while offering assistance during the first 30 days of enforcement to employers making good faith efforts to meet the new standard's requirements.
RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA PROGRAM . 4 • Report any unsafe conditions or acts to their supervisor or union representative. • Report any exposure incidents or any signs or symptoms of Silica illness. DEFINITIONS • Action Level means a concentration of airborne Respirable Crystalline Silica of 25μg/m3, calculated as an 8-hour TWA.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) respirable crystalline silica standards for General /Maritime (29 CFR 1910.1053) and Construction (29 CFR 1926.1153). Crystalline silicais a basic component of soil, sand, granite and many other minerals.
Respirable crystalline silica very small particles typically at least 100 times smaller than ordinary sand found on beaches or playgrounds is generated by high-energy operations like cutting, sawing, grinding, drilling and crushing stone, rock, concrete, brick, block and mortar; or when using industrial sand.
Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) has administrative responsibility for the UCSB Respirable Crystalline Silica Exposure Control Program, and will assist departments in meeting their requirements under the program upon request. Specific EH&S Responsibilities and Resources are listed below:
