Description:

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has carried out a detailed review on crystalline silica and published it as two documents in their Hazard Assessment Document series; both documents are reviewed here. Hazard Assessment Documents are produced to facilitate the development of a regulatory position on a specific health-related issue. Phase 1 of this HSE project addresses the issues of variability of fibrogenicity and quality of silicosis exposure-response data, while Phase 2 reviews the evidence with regard to carcinogenicity of respirable crystalline silica (RCS).
