Why is Protection From Silica Essential?
Silica is the name of a group of minerals containing silicon and oxygen in chemical combination having the general formula SiO2.
Overexposure to respirable crystalline silica can lead to a disabling, nonreversible, and sometimes fatal lung disease known as silicosis. In 2002, between 250-300 American workers died from silicosis and over one million will be exposed to crystalline silica.
Silica-related occupational hazard:
- Sandblasting
- Jack hammering
- Masonry work
- Mining
- Foundry work
- General construction

- OSHA Action - 25 ug/m3
- PEL - 50 ug/m3
- NIOSH - 50 ug/m3
