Important Silica Safety Notice

Please be aware that the cutting, grinding, drilling, or polishing of quartz and other stone products can release silica dust. Prolonged or excessive exposure to respirable crystalline silica can cause serious health issues, including silicosis, lung cancer, and other respiratory conditions.

To protect your health and the health of your employees, we strongly recommend the following safety measures:

  1. Use Wet Cutting Methods: Whenever possible, use wet cutting techniques to minimize dust generation.
  2. Utilize Proper Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in your workspace to disperse airborne particles.
  3. Wear Respiratory Protection: Equip workers with appropriate respiratory protection that complies with OSHA standards.
  4. Regular Health Monitoring: Implement a health monitoring program for employees exposed to silica dust.
  5. Maintain a Clean Work Environment: Regularly clean work areas to prevent the accumulation of dust.

By following these precautions, you can help mitigate the risks associated with silica exposure and maintain a safe work environment for all employees.

For more detailed safety guidelines, please refer to the OSHA regulations on silica exposure or consult with a safety professional.
