Washington State employers are required to comply with silica exposure standards that help protect workers from:
- Silicosis
- Lung cancer
- Respiratory disease
- Long-term exposure hazards
- OSHA and L&I violations
A trained silica competent person helps identify hazards, implement exposure controls, monitor work practices, and maintain OSHA/WISHA compliance on the jobsite.
