Silica

• OSHA uses a benchmark 8-hourtime-weighted average exposure of 0.1 mg/m3 of respirable silica dust as a point of reference in describing control measures utilized by the construction trades.• The benchmark is approximately

equivalent to the general industry PEL, is a single easy-to-use number rather than a formula, and is expressed in terms of the current gravimetric method rather than the obsolete particle count method
