How Can We Help with Silica Dust Monitoring
Silica is a natural substance found in various materials in construction and manufacturing, such as sandstone, concrete, and clay bricks. When these materials are cut, drilled, or ground, they produce dust containing crystalline silica particles. These particles can severely damage the lungs and airways when inhaled. As such, silica dust monitoring of silica is vital to prevent overexposure and safeguard workers' health.
Our staff has years of experience as occupational hygienists, including projects involving the monitoring and managing of respirable crystalline silica levels. We can recommend and implement cost-effective monitoring programs across Australia and overseas. Our team can help prepare management plans and recommend appropriate engineering controls and personal respiratory protective equipment. Our team understands that exposure levels are variable, and air sampling alone cannot indicate health risks. For this reason, we will consider the particle size, shape, concentration, and length of time a person is exposed.
