Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidance document, OSHA 3362-04, Controlling Silica Exposures in Construction, addresses the control of employee exposures to respirable dust containing crystalline silica, which is known to cause silicosis, a serious lung disease, as well as increase the risk of lung cancer and other systemic diseases. This document provides information on the effectiveness of various engineering control approaches for several kinds of construction operations and equipment, and contains recommendations for work practices and respiratory protection, as appropriate. Quartz is the most common form of crystalline silica. In fact, it is the second most common surface material accounting for almost 12% by volume of the earth's crust. Quartz is present in many materials in the construction industry, such as brick and mortar, concrete, slate, dimensional stone (granite, sandstone), stone aggregate, tile, and sand used for blasting. Other construction materials that contain crystalline silica are asphalt filler, roofing granules, plastic composites, soils, and to a lesser extent, some wallboard joint compounds, paint, plaster, caulking and putty. Cristobalite, a less common form of crystalline silica, is formed at high temperatures (>1,470°C) in nature and by industrial processes. The ceramic and brick lining of boilers and vessels, some ceramic tiles, and volcanic ash contain cristobalite. The crystalline silica permissible exposure limit (PEL) for the construction industry at 29 CFR 1926.55(a) is expressed in terms of millions of particles per cubic foot (mppcf). This PEL is based on a particle count method long rendered obsolete by respirable mass (gravimetric) sampling, which yields results reported in milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3). In contrast with the construction PEL, the crystalline silica PEL for general industry is based on gravimetric sampling, which is the only method currently available to OSHA compliance personnel. In this guidance, OSHA uses a benchmark 8-hour time-weighted average exposure of 0.1 mg/m3 of respirable silica dust as a point of reference in describing control measures utilized by the construction trades. OSHA is reviewing the construction and general industry PELs for silica in its ongoing silica rulemaking. The recommendations presented in this document are based on a review of information in the published literature, NIOSH In-Depth Survey Reports and OSHA inspection data. Engineering control evaluations reported in the published literature were generally performed in controlled work environments and may not reflect actual workplace exposures experienced at construction worksites. Moreover, potential silica exposure levels will depend on the concentration of silica in materials at construction sites, as well as factors in the work environment (such as enclosed, semi-enclosed, or open spaces and/or multiple operations generating silica dust) as well as environmental conditions (such as wind direction and speed). Therefore, OSHA encourages employers to conduct periodic exposure monitoring to confirm that engineering and work practice controls are effective and that appropriate respiratory protection is being used where necessary. Controls continue to evolve and OSHA encourages equipment suppliers and contractors to work with industrial hygienists to evaluate new designs and products to obtain objective information that can be used to evaluate performance and support informed decisions on use. If you choose to modify equipment, it is important to follow equipment manufacturers' recommendations in order to ensure that modifications do not adversely affect equipment performance and that no additional hazards are created. Furthermore, ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) and water tight/sealable electrical connectors should be used with electric tools and equipment on construction sites (OSHA, 1996). These features are particularly important in areas where water is used to control dust.

Book Synopsis Dangerous Construction by : Peter Ciechanowski
Download or read book Dangerous Construction written by Peter Ciechanowski and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silica is an essential component of rocks, soil, and sand, and it is the second most common mineral on earth. Epidemiological studies indicate that crystalline silica poses a health risk when inhaled. This is an important issue because exposure to crystalline silica is widespread among many occupations, such as mining and construction. Exposure to crystalline silica is a problem in both developed and developing nations. It is estimated that 3,200,000 and 1,700,000 workers are exposed annually in the European Union and United States, respectively. In Canada, almost 350,000 workers are exposed every year. This paper provides an encompassing detail of crystalline silica and its negative health effects. First, the chemical and immunopathological characteristics are introduced. Second, the characteristics of silica dust are explored in order to define its health hazard processes. Finally, this paper focuses on the construction industry and introduces ways to control and prevent crystalline silica exposure.
