Materials that contain Crystalline Silica are glass, pottery, artificial stone, ceramic tile, brick, sand, concrete, stone, and mortar.  Workers are at risk that cut, drill, grind, or crush these materials. Breathing dust particles from these products can cause Silicosis an incurable disease. OSHA requires strict guidelines here is the Fact Sheet.  

IAQ Environmental can test for higher levels of silica dust at the workplace.  Employees that are at risk can be monitored to determine safety. We can test the facility, and a plan to fix the problem.
