description "The objective of this guide is to give producers and users of products and materials that contain crystalline silica guidance on the practical application of a programme to manage respirable crystalline silica and guidance on the safe use of crystalline silica containing products in the workplace. The silica producing and using industries stress that employees should be protected against potential health effects caused by occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica in the workplace. Therefore efforts should be focused on minimising potential personal exposure to respirable crystalline silica in the workplace.This is a dynamic guide, which concentrates on the aspects that are considered the most significant. Although comprehensive, it has not been possible to cover in detail all areas of concern. Users, customers, workers, and readers are advised to consult occupational health professionals and other experts concerning all matters regarding control of respirable crystalline silica in each specific workplace."
