As you’re probably aware if you’re in general industry, OSHA issued a much stricter requirement for the new permissible exposure level (PEL) of silica dust and the deadline is June 23, 2018. Employers can comply with the new rule and significantly reduce the risk of silica exposure by implementing best housekeeping practices. These measures include an improved maintenance plan with proper equipment to reduce or eliminate dangerous dust that settles on floors, walls, and overhead areas.
On May 23, we’ll be sponsoring a webinar to provide professionals in manufacturing and maintenance with:
- A basic understanding of the silica dust issue;
- Review of the OSHA standard;
- Critical housekeeping tips and recommendations, as they pertain to Nilfisk’s first-hand experiences; and,
- Q&A time to discuss specific issues.
