Concrete cutting and concrete grinding are very dusty jobs in the construction industry, both posing a serious health risk to masons. Masonry blocks, bricks, and concrete slabs contain concentrated amounts of crystalline silica. When these materials are dry-cut they release silica-containing dust into the workers’ breathing zone. Regular exposure to this hazardous dust can lead… Read more »

In 10 Quick Facts on OSHA’s New Silica Dust Rules, we explained how OSHA is cracking down on airborne crystalline silica. In a concerted effort to eliminate the numerous health problems linked to the dangerous dust, OSHA is reducing silica’s permissible exposure limit (PEL) to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air over 8 hours – a… Read more »
