Silica Regulations: Compliance Discussion
▪ Began compliance efforts in January 2017 before the September 2017 due date.
▪ Embarked on a continuous training program as part of our New Employee Orientation and Safety Training of the Silica Hazards under the HAZCOM.
▪ To Date we have trained over 300 workers.
▪ For some of our demolition workers the training included Respirator training
▪ This leads to the additional requirements under the OSHA Respirator Standards and some specific Silica Standard requirements, including Medical Surveillance.

Silica Compliance:Alternate Control Methods
▪ OSHA 1926. 1153 provides in paragraph (d)Alternate Control Methods for Tasks not in Table 1
▪ With few exceptions EHG has chosen this approach to achieve Compliance.
▪ EXPOSURE ASSESMENTS – Because demolition is Mentioned only in Task 17 and 18 most of our work Practices in the field are simply not covered.
This Means:
• Initial and Continuous air monitoring of demolition Activities
• Creating Exposure assessments on the level of Silica In the air
• While making these assessments workers must be in respirators

Silica Compliance:Alternate Control Methods
▪ Integrated water supply
systems do not work for
Large scale demolition.
▪ Tools equipped with this
type of system tend to Clog
easily.
▪ Have limited effectiveness
in controlling dust
▪ Are simply not designed for
interior manual demolition

Silica Compliance:Alternate Control Methods
▪ In addition to wet
methods – ventilation via
HEPA filtration
▪ Reduces airborne dust
emissions
▪ Occupied buildings –
minimize exposure to
▪ Other trades
▪ Tenants

Robotics in Demolition
▪ Alternative in demolition
▪ Could minimize exposure

Regulatory Issues
▪ Outdoor vs Indoors
▪ Regulations differ
▪ When does inside
become outside
