ENCOURAGING NEXT-GENERATION WORKERS AND SATISFYING PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS.
Jobsites are notoriously challenging environments for contractors. Dust and noise hazards present obstacles to construction contractors as well as the general public within the vicinity of projects. However, the release of OSHA’s silica control standards prompted construction contractors to counteract the risks that this dust may present.
OSHA’s standard 29 CFR 1926.1153 outlines the limits for silica exposure in construction activities. As a manufacturer of pumps and mixers, our time on the jobsite has proven that there are several questions in the field about silica compliance. Both contractors and manufacturers have developed their own unique and varied solutions to meet compliance requirements.
