El peligro invisible

¿Qué es el sílice cristalino respirable? Respirable Crystalline Silica?

El sílice es un mineral natural que se encuentra en el concreto, mortero, ladrillo, azulejo, piedra y arena.

Concrete, mortar, and grout
Brick and tile
Stone (granite, sandstone, and limestone)
Rock and sand

Cuando estos materiales se martillan, sierran o chorrean, liberan diminutas partículas que viajan profundamente a los pulmones, causando daños permanentes.

Prevención de la silicosis

Los riesgos para la salud: Prevención de la silicosis

La silicosis es una enfermedad pulmonar progresiva e incurable. Con el tiempo, el polvo provoca la formación de tejido cicatricial en los pulmones.

Silicosis crónica(más de 10 años de exposición)

Cumplimiento federal

Cumplimiento de la norma OSHA 1926.1153: Las reglas que debe conocer

El estándar de OSHA para la construcción requiere que los empleadores protejan a los trabajadores de la exposición al sílice.

Capacitación sobre el límite de exposición permisible (PEL)

OSHA estableció un PEL de 50 microgramos de sílice por metro cúbico de aire, promediado durante un día de 8 horas.

If exposure exceeds the Action Level of 25 micrograms per cubic meter, employers must implement specific protective measures.

While OSHA does not set a hard expiration date, most NYC contractors and the DOB require workers to refresh their awareness training every 3 to 4 years to stay current with new Exposure Control Plan updates.

While not one of the "prescribed" 8-hour courses, Silica Awareness is a highly recommended elective that many site managers require before allowing you to perform masonry or concrete work.

The Action Level is 25 micrograms per cubic meter. If dust levels reach this point, your employer must begin air monitoring and medical surveillance.
