Lead Exposure

Lead is a toxic metal that is widely used in numerous working environments including construction sites and manufacturing facilities. It is also found in various types of batteries, glazes, plastics, and many other building materials.

What is silica and how do I get exposed?

Crystalline silica is a basic component of soil, sand, granite, and many other minerals. Quartz is the most common form of crystalline silica. Exposure occurs through inhalation of respirable particles created when silica-containing materials are manipulated. Activities such as chipping, cutting, cutting, drilling, blasting, and grinding of silica-containing materials are expected to produce respirable particles.
