How Our Dust Compression and Supression System Can Help
In June 2024, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) published its final ruling for Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) dust exposure. The ruling updates:
Protect employers and construction workers
Reduce silica exposures during construction
Improve occupational safety and health
Up to 93% reduction in airborne silica dust
How Our Dust Compression and Supression System Can Help
Helps to protect operations and maintenance workers from harmful overexposure
Assists in improving environmental safety and health
Provides a powerful solution to help meet regulatory requirements
Combat Silica Dust Overexposure
It’s the Law. Don’t Wait.
Get Control of Your Silica Dust Exposure
The permissible exposure limit (PEL) for respirable crystalline silica from 100 micrograms (µg) to 50 µg per cubic meter of air (µg/m3) over a full-shift exposure, calculated as an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) for all mines.
This new ruling requires compliance to lowered limits of miners’ RCS exposure and provisions for improvement in respiratory protection.
What can I expect from the new ruling?
- Increased MSHA spot inspections focusing on RCS levels
- Expansion of sampling requirements and qualitative evaluations
- Requirements for miner health examinations and medical surveillance
- Potential for partial or full mining operation shutdowns if found in non-compliance
When is full compliance required?
- By April 14, 2025 for coal mining operations
- By April 8, 2026 for MNM (metal and nonmetal) mining operations
