____________________

Exposure to respirable crystalline silica can cause silicosis, lung cancer, other respiratory diseases and kidney disease. About two million construction workers are exposed in over 600,000 workplaces. OSHA estimates more than 840,000 workers are exposed to silica levels that exceed the new permissible exposure limit. 

Workers and contractors need to recognize the hazard, understand the risk factors and work safety silica. 

The rule mandates all construction employers covered by the standard to have a written exposure control plan and designate a competent person.

AGC Georgia reserves the right to cancel programs up to 7 days prior to the start date if a minimum number of attendees is not met.
