Despite the wealth of information available from OSHA on the Respirable Crystalline Silica Ruling, there is a still a lot to understand about how workers are exposed and how to protect them. Employers are also exposed to litigation and citations if they don't properly understand how to comply with the OSHA ruling. Doug Wilcox will summarize some of the most common compliance issues in order to minimize exposures and avoid penalties!

Did you know that there are roughly 2,500 active TxDOT work zones in operation throughout Texas at any given time? As a result, the individuals who conduct day to day operations on the roadway have constant exposure to oncoming traffic. Without proper controls such as lane closures and trained traffic control personnel, the task of highway construction becomes complicated. Therefore it is essential to ensure all traffic control is set up according to specifications.

To be in compliance with OSHA’s Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard, Employers must use feasible dust controls to protect workers from silica exposures. 

Larry Welch and special guest Robert Lee, Hot Mix Asphalt Performance Manager, Texas Region, CRH Americas Materials, Inc.take a detailed look at the six parts of a specification using the Dense Graded Specification for Local Governments as an example. You can find our example specification in Appendix A of the Texas Asphalt Pavement User Guide.
