Description:
"Recommendations are made for standards for occupational exposure to crystalline silica, based on a review of the literature regarding the health effects of exposure. Recommendations are made for the following items: levels of silica in the work place air; medical examinations; labeling; personal protective equipment and work clothing; informing employees of hazards from free silica; work practices and control procedures; monitoring and recordkeeping requirements. Topics reviewed are: biologic effects of silica exposure, including epidemiologic and toxicity data; and environmental data, including dust measurement and engineering control." - NIOSHTIC-2

The Office of Research and Standards Development, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, had primary responsibility for development of the criteria and recommended standard for crystalline silica. William D. Wagner, Division of Laboratories and Criteria Development, had NIOSH program responsibility for development of the document, and Frank W. Mackison served as criteria manager.
