Control of substances hazardous to health regulations 2002 (as amended 2005) proposal for a workplace exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica.
- [S.I.] HSC 2005
At least 100000 workers, many in the construction industry, are exposed to respirable crystalline silica on a regular basis, causing illnesses such as cancer and silicosis. This Consultative Document issued by the HSC seeks feedback on a proposal to reduce the current Workplace Exposure Limit (WEL) for silica from 0.3 mg.m -3 to 0.1 mg.m -3 (measured as an 8 hour time weighted average). Evidence shows that this would in the long-term considerably lower the risk of workers developing silicosis.
