OSHA Professionals: Silica Dust Hazards and Prevention - Udemy

This Course:

This course is about the “New Epidemic” in which OSHA and the construction industry are desperately trying to bring to light – the scourge of Silicosis. In fact, the effects of Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) are now being compared to the recent and brutally extensive “Asbestos Plague”.

1000's of Americans suffer from RCS caused symptoms and 100's die each year.  World-wide the numbers are at a massive scale.  But it's not a contagious infection.  It's not even spread by a local germ.  It is a life altering condition - but it is easily avoided with wise protective measures and controls.

Here, we give you the most comprehensive and illustrated view of "RCS" you're ever going to find - from full and complete content to every type of multi-media that effectively illustrates every point.
