Silica mitigation

Some heavily trafficked roads in Quebec contain asbestos, requiring special removal procedures to protect workers. ACI, experienced in handling asbestos asphalt, uses both stabilization and dry methods, preferring stabilization for its cost and efficiency.

The ION DUST SHIELD, an addition to BOMAG’s dust extraction system, reduces hazardous fine dust by 88% using an electrical charge to clump particles into coarse dust for safe disposal.

In June 2023, MSHA proposed a rule to lower exposure limits for respirable crystalline silica. Here, Heitzler walks us through some best practices for the use of engineered controls at the conveyor belt.

While OSHA’s rule has been in place since 2016, MSHA is likely to lower exposure thresholds in its own rule

The team at TransPremier agreed to share tips with us to help others in their safe and best milling practices.

An estimated 2 million construction workers in the United States have been exposed to respirable silica dust, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. That’s why OSHA’s Respirable Crystalline […]

NIOSH’s new FAST software program monitor workers’ exposure to silica much faster than traditional methods allow.
