https://facs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Silica-Regulations-Beyond-Construction-1600-x-583-px-2.png1600583On December 14, 2023, the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board (OSHSB) approved Cal/OSHA language for the Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) on respirable crystalline silica for General Industry (under California Code of Regulation, Title 8, section 5204). The ETS went into affect on December 29, 2023, which includes and emphasizes revisions to protect workers engaged in “high-exposure trigger tasks” involving work with artificial and natural stone.
