To better control this deadly dust, OSHA updated its crystalline silica exposure limit, making compliance much more difficult. Below you'll find articles that explain the ins and outs of the new rules, the best silica dust control methods, and what you need to do to become compliant.
Equipment Piece #1: The Cyclone. Airborne silica dust is measured by using a device called a sampling cyclone. This is a relatively small piece of equipment that clips on to a workers shirt and connected to a pump (usually attached to the worker’s belt or back pocket) that draws air
There is also no way to sufficiently prevent moisture or the elements from contaminating the product in a belt conveyor. But most importantly, belt conveyors cannot control hazardous silica dust as effectively as other conveying equipment: En-masse or drag conveyors are the most suitable solutions for handling fine, highly abrasive silica sand. Low-speed, high-volume conveying over relatively long distances and

The silica sand scrubber solves the problem that there is currently no special equipment for scrubbing quartz sand. The function of the equipment is to scrub the dust and oxidized impurities adhered to the surface of the silica sand; improve the purity of the silica sand material, and the scrubbing efficiency can reach more than 90%.

Silica is almost everywhere you look. It's one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth’s crust and materials like sand, concrete, and mortar all have high silica content. Silica or materials with high silica content are used in glass, pottery, ceramics, refractory bricks, and artificial stone.
Though OSHA’s respirable crystalline silica standards for construction and manufacturing and maritime are new, the health issues presented by silica are a longtime problem. Silicosis—an incurable lung disease caused by inhaling dust containing silica— was first identified in stone cutters in the early 1700s.
Crystalline silica has been the subject of regulation in Queensland’s workplaces since 1995. Details of general requirements can be found in the WHS Regulation, Chapters 3 and 7.1 dealing with hazardous chemicals. Workplaces supplied with products comprising silica (such as sand) and all workplaces where silica containing
Control the Dust There are ways contractors can reduce the dust and reduce the hazard. This easy to use planning tool takes you step-by-step through conducting a job hazard analysis for silica, selecting appropriate controls, and creating a job-specific plan to eliminate or reduce silica hazards.You can save as a pdf, print and/or email your plan.
Step one is to take high‑purity silica sand, the kind used for glass. You could just go across the street and borrow a piece of equipment.” It was more than we could handle emotionally
Heavy equipment and utility vehicles when used to abrade or fracture silica-containing materials (such as hoe-ramming or rock ripping) or during demolition activities, and for tasks such as grading and excavating. Exposures to respirable crystalline silica also
