Silica Exposure Control Plan
A Silica Exposure Control Plan is a written strategy that ensures workers are protected from breathing in silica dust, which can cause serious health issues. It identifies tasks that generate silica dust, outlines methods like using wet tools or ventilation to reduce dust, and specifies personal protective equipment such as respirators. The plan also trains workers on safe practices and ensures regular monitoring of air quality. Its goal is to minimize silica exposure, keeping workers safe and compliant with health regulations.
