THE DUSTY DANGERS OF CONCRETE CUTTING & GRINDING
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 »
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SAMPLING CYCLONE FOR SILICA DUST MEASUREMENT
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 »
