Plant Professionals® supports site efforts in addressing airborne dust to help lower Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) dust exposure and in offering plant assessments and practical solutions to reach regulatory standards.
Due to MSHA’s final ruling on Respirable Silica Dust published in April 2024, many have been asking for industry support to help minimize silica dust exposure at their sites and facilities. Plant Professionals® is here to help.
