Who We Are

Non-profit dedicated to reducing injuries, illnesses, and fatalities in the construction industry. Focus areas: training, service, and research, Serve as NIOSH’s National Construction Center Research to Practice (r2p)

  • Take the

Research

Repackage it

  • Identify

Hazards

Into Materials to

  • Prevent

Injuries & Illnesses

On Jobsites

Situation when we started….

➢What we thought: ✓ r2p Gap ➢What we learned: ✓ Difficult to find information ✓ Available information is too general or complicated ✓ Need specific, practical information -- “Make it easy” ✓ Generate a take-away –

“The last thing you should do before you leave the site is hit PRINT”

➢What we proposed: ✓ A “one-stop” website

Referenced in: ✓ Industry testimony and evidence in support of the silica standard ✓ The preamble to the final standard ✓ OSHA’s Small Entity Compliance Guide: “The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) has a tool to help employers develop written exposure control plans that is available at www.silica-safe.org.” OSHA Small Entity Compliance Guide for the Respirable Crystalline

Silica Standard for Construction (page 45)

Written Exposure Control Plan

✓The plan must describe:

▪ Tasks involving exposure to respirable crystalline silica ▪ Engineering controls, work practices, and respiratory protection for each task ▪ Housekeeping measures used to limit exposure ▪ Procedures used to restrict access, when necessary to limit exposures

✓Reviewed and the effectiveness evaluated at least annually and updated as necessary ✓Implemented by a competent person

OSHA Standard - §1926.1153 Respirable crystalline silica, section (g)

Questions addressed:

  • Which employees are covered by the medical surveillance

requirement?

  • When and how often should employees have a medical exam?
  • How do you set up a medical monitoring program?
  • Step 1 – Find a health professional to work with
  • Step 2 – Interview the health professional to ensure they

are able to meet your needs

  • Step 3 – Finalize the contract and begin to make

appointments for your employees

Recent Research: Tuckpointing

  • Engineering controls don’t

reduce dust below the PEL

  • Respirators required
  • ≤4 hours/shift: APF 10
  • >4 hours/shift: APF 25
  • NIOSH Researchers tested

Tools with the help of the Masonry r2p Partnership

  • Reports on findings under

review

  • Training materials for a 1)

plugging chisel with a rotary hammer and 2) brick and mortar saw in development.
