OSHA Silica Rule - Natural Stone Institute
The rule cuts the respirable silica PEL from 100 µg/m 3 for an 8-hour time weighted average to 50 µg/m 3. The rule was broken into two separate standards—one for the General Industry & Maritime (affecting employees in stone fabrication shops), and one for Construction (affecting employees working at jobsites in the field).
