Silica Awareness
This non-accredited Silica Awareness course provides learners with a general understanding of crystalline silica and the risks associated with exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust.
The course covers silica-containing materials, dust-generating activities, potential health effects, workplace responsibilities, risk assessment and the hierarchy of controls. Learners are introduced to water suppression, on-tool dust extraction, isolation, respiratory protection, housekeeping, decontamination, exposure monitoring, health monitoring and the steps to take when unsafe silica dust is identified.
The course is delivered entirely online and includes a knowledge assessment.
