History. The first testing of silica fume in Portland-cement-based concretes was carried out in 1952.
September 23, 2017 -- OSHA begins enforcing the silica standard for the construction industry. June 23, 2018 -- OSHA begins enforcement of the respirable crystalline silica standard for general industry and maritime.
OSHA's standard requires employers to take steps to protect workers from exposure to respirable crystalline silica. What is Respirable Crystalline Silica? Crystalline silica is a common mineral that is found in construction materials such as sand, stone, concrete, brick, and mortar.
Breathing in dust from silica-containing materials can lead to silicosis. Silica dust particles become trapped in lung tissue causing inflammation and scarring. The particles also reduce the lungs' ability to take in oxygen. This condition is called silicosis.
The employer shall ensure that no employee is exposed to an airborne concentration of respirable crystalline silica in excess of 50 \u03bcg/m3, calculated as an 8-hour TWA.

Action level means a concentration of airborne respirable crystalline silica of 25 \u03bcg/m3, calculated as an 8-hour TWA.
The PEL for respirable crystalline silica is 50 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/M3) of air. This is the maximum concentration of respirable crystalline silica in air, as an eight-hour time-weighted average, to which an employee may be exposed.
September 23, 2017 -- OSHA begins enforcing the silica standard for the construction industry. June 23, 2018 -- OSHA begins enforcement of the respirable crystalline silica standard for general industry and maritime.
OSHA's Respirable Crystalline Silica standard for construction requires employers to limit worker exposures to respirable crystalline silica and to take other steps to protect workers.
The NIOSH recommended exposure limit (REL) for respirable crystalline silica is 0.05 mg/m3 (50 µg/m3) as a TWA for up to 10 hours/day during a 40-hour workweek [NIOSH 1974].
