ClickSafety's Respirable Crystalline Silica Awareness in Construction and Respirable Crystalline Silica in Construction for the Exposed Worker are training courses designed to educate construction professionals on the newly released OSHA Respirable Crystalline Silica standard found in 29 CFR 1926.1153, and foster safer work environments.
ClickSafety's awareness course is for workers with limited or potential exposure to silica and respirable crystalline silica dust. The training identifies basic health hazards associated with exposure, evaluation and control techniques, and OSHA's new requirements to protect workers.
Respirable Crystalline Silica in Construction for the Exposed Worker is for those who routinely work near or are otherwise exposed to silica dust and/or respirable crystalline silica dust and those who supervise them. This one-hour course provides a thorough, up-to-date understanding of the magnitude of silica in the construction environment, identifies basic hazards, evaluation and control techniques, and provides an in-depth review of OSHA's new requirements. The course enables professionals to identify examples of potential exposure to silica and respirable crystalline silica and the associated dangers, and learn safe practices and techniques to minimize risks.
"Statistics cite more than two million workers are exposed to respirable crystalline silica in their workplaces," said ClickSafety General Manager Doug Kaplan. "We are very glad to see OSHA's more stringent direction in this area and share the commitment to curbing lung cancer, silicosis and other COPD diseases caused by exposure. These courses further validate ClickSafety's dedication for helping our clients create and maintain safe work environments."
