Silica Awareness & Exposure Control Training

🚧 Reduce Risk. Meet Compliance. Protect Your Workers.

Silica exposure is one of the leading causes of serious occupational lung disease—and it is entirely preventable.

Our Silica Awareness & Exposure Control Training provides workers, supervisors, and employers across Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada with the knowledge and practical skills needed to identify hazards, control dust, and reduce exposure to respirable crystalline silica.

If you can see dust, your workers are already over the safe exposure limit.

Why Silica Awareness & Exposure Control Training is Essential

Workers in construction, roadwork, manufacturing, and industrial settings are regularly exposed to silica dust.

Without proper training and controls, exposure can lead to:

• Silicosis (permanent lung disease)
• Lung cancer
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Kidney disease

Because respirable silica dust is often invisible, workers may be exposed without realizing it.

Proper silica awareness & exposure control training helps prevent long-term health risks and ensures compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.
