Review toxic/hazardous waste operations and the proper response to such incidents.
- Summarize basic chemical information for Silica, and how construction workers might be exposed to Silica (either through tasks performed or commercial products used in construction activities).
- Describe what OSHA construction regulations exist for Silica and any OSHA exposure limits (PELs) for the hazard. If OSHA does not have a PEL for Silica, are there any other agencies (i.e., NIOSH or ACGIH) that have published exposure limits or guidelines?
- Are there any OSHA specific requirements for worker education/training, medical monitoring, exposure monitoring (real-time, on-site), etc.?
- Discuss the health effects of exposure to Silica (acute, chronic, systemic, local, etc.).
- Identify specific protective measures that can/should be taken to prevent overexposure to Silica. Be specific. Include a discussion of a hierarchy of controls in relation to the protective measures that can/should be taken and methods to monitor exposure to Silica.
- What hazard communication information should be provided to workers, and in what format should the information be conveyed? Is a specific program required under the OSHA construction standard for Silica - if so, list and explain the basic components of the required program?
