OSHA Silica Standard for Construction Fact Sheet (PDF)

A short OSHA fact sheet summarizing what the construction silica standard requires of employers, including exposure limits, control methods, written plans, and training. It is the quickest way for an owner to see the main obligations before reading the full rule. Good to share with a foreman who will act as the competent person for silica.
