Low Dust Grouts and Concrete Mortars from MBS Help Companies with OSHA
Since 2019, OSHA has become proactive in enforcing Standard 29 CFR 1926.1153 to limit worker exposure to respirable crystalline silica. When workers cut, grind, drill, or crush materials that contain crystalline silica very small dust particles can be created. These tiny particles (known as respirable particles) can travel deep into workers’ lungs and cause silicosis, an incurable, and sometimes deadly lung disease, as well as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, even kidney disease.*
There are a variety of exposure control methods to protect workers from respirable contaminants, such as modified tools, and PPE. Master Builders Solutions has taken the lead in addressing exposure to these harmful air-borne agents on the front-end, by creating low-dust grouts and repair mortars.
