Respirable Crystalline Silica Health Monitoring
MOBILE SERVICE
ASSESSMENTS ARE PERFORMED ONSITE MINIMISING EMPLOYEE DOWNTIME TO APPROX 30-45 MINS (EXCLUDING X-RAY)
Inhaling respirable crystalline silica (RCS) can lead to serious lung conditions such as silicosis.
Crystalline silica (silicon dioxide) is a common mineral found in many building materials, such as:
- bricks, blocks, pavers, tiles and mortar
- concrete and cement-based products, such as fibre-cement sheeting and autoclaved-aerated concrete
- most rocks, sands, and clays.
When these materials are processed (e.g. cut, sawn, ground, drilled, polished, scabbled or crushed), dust containing RCS can be released.
Other tasks like dry sweeping or using compressed air blowers on dust containing RCS can make it airborne.
We conduct industry compliant Health Monitoring Medicals in accordance with the relevant codes of practise.
