CPWR’s Updated ‘Working Safely with Silica’ Website & Exposure Control Planning Tool
CPWR developed the website www.silica-safe.org/ more than 12 years ago to serve as a one-stop source of information on how to prevent silica hazards and protect workers from exposure. We are thrilled to know that tens of thousands of exposure control plans were created and countless workers protected during that time, and to update the site and ensure it continues working well into the future, we have spent the last several months rebuilding it from the ground up. It contains all the same information and tools, but is even more user friendly and up-to-date. Learn about the history and content of the site and how to use its “Create-A-Plan” tool to develop written exposure control plans tailored to each of your jobsites.
