Nov. 7, 2024: What you can’t see can still harm you!
Silica is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found anywhere. While safe when used solid form like in bricks, drywall, countertops, when made airborne, such as by chipping, sanding, or grinding, it can cause fatal lung diseases even when exposures are so low that you can barely see it. The Silica Control Tool, developed in British Columbia, was revised by OHCOW last year. Join this session to learn about how the Silica Control Tool is rolling out across Canada and being adapted to other exposures! Register for the webinar.
