New Silica Guidance Documents Now Available

In partnership with the Natural Stone Institute, the International Surface Fabricators Association is proud to introduce two guidance documents for workplace silica exposure assessment assembled by the Yale School of Medicine. A recent survey and data collection project with Yale researchers revealed that there is little consistency of information gathered in professional sampling reports.

These two new documents, available in both English and Spanish, define best practices in air monitoring for respirable crystalline silica and give a better understanding of expectations to those companies who haven’t started air monitoring.
