Protect workers from silica exposure during quartz countertop fabrication by implementing comprehensive dust control systems and wet-cutting methods. Recent studies show crystalline silica particles from engineered stone pose significant quartz countertop safety concerns, requiring strict adherence to OSHA’s respirable crystalline silica standard. Equip fabrication areas with local exhaust ventilation systems that capture dust at the source, maintain negative air pressure in cutting zones, and provide workers…
