Silica Awareness Online Training Program
Silica awareness is an essential training program that provides employees with the knowledge and skills to recognize and prevent the hazards associated with silica exposure in the workplace.
Silica is a common mineral found in many construction materials such as concrete, sand, and rock. When these materials are cut, drilled, or crushed, silica particles can become airborne, leading to respiratory problems and other serious health issues.
The goal of silica awareness training is to educate employees about the dangers of silica exposure and the steps they can take to protect themselves and their co-workers. This includes learning about the sources of silica exposure, the symptoms of silica-related illnesses, and the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators and dust masks.
