Course Description
Silica Dust Awareness
Silica is found in the majority of rocks, sands and clays and therefore workers within the construction industry, quarrying industry and masonry industry are particularly susceptible. Workers are at risk from fine airborne particles, entering into the respiratory tract. However, these small particles are often not visible to the naked eye and therefore, may not be an obvious exposure risk to workers. Exposure to silica dust can result in silicosis.
