Who has the most serious silica hazard and who needs to implement some control to protect his workers? |
![]() |
Owner
3 Owner 3's is NOT the most serious hazard. The exposure amount of 1.6 is right at the limit of 1.6. Although he has not exceeded the PEL, Owner 3 should take corrective measures to reduce silica exposures in order to improve his workers' health and to insure that his workplace does not exceed the PEL. He also needs to provide his workers with the sampling results, if requested. Try again |
![]() |
Owner
1 No. At 0.33 mg/m3, this exposure amount is half of the permissible limit of 0.75 mg/m3. He does need to provide his workers with the sampling results, if requested. In order to improve his workers' health he may want to implement voluntary control measures. Try again. |
