Learn the standards and how to keep employees safe.
The Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities Safety Services is pleased to offer our members a Silica Safety webinar at no cost. We believe that understanding the hazards of silica and safe works practices are vitally important to the well-being of our members. IAMU partners with EMC and Jester Insurance to sponsor the Safety Group Insurance Program and our focus is employee health and safety.
OSHA’s new Silica standard went into effect on June 23, 2017. The standard requires employers to use engineering controls (such as water or ventilation) to limit worker exposure, provide respirators where engineering controls cannot adequately limit exposure, develop a written exposure control plan, train workers on silica hazards and how to limit exposure, and offer medical exams to employees who must wear respirators more than 30 days a year.
Materials include:
