Silica Safety Awareness
Summit’s Silica Safety Awareness training program is now available in
video and DVD formats, in addition to the current online format. This complete,
step-by-step
training program provides employees with the knowledge and training to protect
themselves when dealing with the dangers of silica dust.
Hazardous risk may occur when materials that contain crystalline silica are
blasted, drilled, crushed, jack-hammered, sawed or worked on in any way that
creates dust.
Exposure to silica can cause fatal diseases such as silicosis, pneumonia and
tuberculosis. According to The National Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health more than 1,000,000 U.S. workers are at risk for developing silicosis
each year.
Summit’s Silica Safety Awareness program can protect workers and minimize
the dangers and costs of silica illnesses. This program covers:
• What is crystalline silica?
• Common Exposures to crystalline silica
• The hazards of crystalline silica
• How to maintain a healthy work environment
• Best Work Safety Practices.
