10830NAT Course in Crystalline Silica Exposure Prevention (Face-to-Face)
Crystalline silica dust is a serious health hazard found in many common construction, demolition, mining, and manufacturing materials. This nationally accredited course provides workers with the essential knowledge and skills to identify, assess, and control the risks associated with crystalline silica exposure in the workplace.
Through practical learning and risk management tools, participants will learn how to apply safety legislation, identify hazardous materials, and develop control plans that protect themselves and others from respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposure.
