This course is designed to equip individuals working in construction and manufacturing environments with essential knowledge about crystalline silica, a prevalent microscopic particle. Participants will gain an understanding of the potential hazards associated with inhaling silica, leading to severe respiratory diseases. The course focuses on identifying silica, implementing preventive measures, and recognizing warning signs to ensure a safe working environment. Define crystalline silica and its common occurrence in construction and manufacturing materials. Explain the risks of silica exposure, particularly through inhalation, and its potential impact on respiratory health. Identify preventive measures and safety protocols to mitigate the risks of silica exposure in the workplace. Recognize warning signs and symptoms of potential silica exposure, emphasizing early detection and intervention. Demonstrate knowledge of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety practices when working with materials containing silica.
