What can the Hydraulic Fracturing Industry Learn about Worker Protection from Respirable Crystalline Silica from the Pioneering Work of NIOSH & NISA?
Pioneering work by NIOSH and the National Industrial Sand Association (NISA) over the last 35+ years helped substantially reduce worker exposures to respirable silica. NISA's Silicosis Prevention Program coupled with the NIOSH "Dust Control Handbook" offer time-tested ways to protect workers and bystanders alike from silica dust in mines.
