COURSE DESCRIPTION

At the conclusion of this course, the student will understand the requirements and responsibilities of a silica “competent person” on construction sites and general industry. This course will cover the OSHA’s new 2016 Silica Standard for maritime, construction and general industry. The student will obtain a comprehensive review of the new OSHA regulation, training on the health effects of silica exposure, and practical steps they can take back to their company to protect their employees from the hazards of silica exposure. Students will learn how to properly implement assessment methods for measuring worker exposure and assists employers in understanding the medical surveillance requirements of the standards. The facilitated and interactive training will allow students to learn objectives to ensure compliance of their company’s silica program, providing training material and communication tools for compliance with the OSHA standard 1926.1153.
