Silica Dust has been called the new Asbestos, mainly because of the slow appearance of symptoms, and therefore the complacency of many workers and employers to take the risk seriously. To help overcome the dangers to workers, most Health and Safety Authorities around the world are setting high standards for employers to apply to minimise exposure to workers. 

This Workplace Health & Safety Poster is aimed at helping employers with their responsibility to train and inform workers about the Danger of Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) Dust and how to minimise risk when performing work that can produce it.
(Note though that it should only be used to support existing training and education based on the requirements of their local Health & Safety Authorities.)
