Working with materials like concrete, stone, or brick during tasks such as cutting, grinding, drilling, or sanding can create fine silica dust. This work releases silica particles into the air where you or your team may unknowingly inhale in the dust. Once inhaled, they can reach deep into the lungs where damage can occur. Short-term exposures can cause irritation to the respiratory system, while repeated exposure may lead to serious illnesses, including silicosis, and an increased risk of lung cancer. These conditions can make breathing difficult, affecting your employees’ day-to-day lives and limiting their ability to enjoy time outside of work.
Bonneville Safety provides silica awareness training to help your team understand these hazards and how to work safely around them.
