OSHA's silica rule, worked out for your crew.
Free tools and plain guides for the safety manager, the foreman and the owner who carries compliance alone: the Table 1 controls for each task, the exposure math, the written plan, and the gear that meets it.
Free silica compliance tools
Each one cites the paragraph of the standard it applies. Nothing to sign up for.
Equip the crew to Table 1
Extractors, shrouds and respirators that publish the figures the standard asks for: airflow, filter rating, filter cleaning, APF.
Dust extractors
25 CFM per inch of wheel, a 99% filter at the tool, a filter-cleaning mechanism.
Respirators
Chosen by assigned protection factor, not filter class. APF 10 covers most Table 1 tasks.
Shrouds and on-tool extraction
The other end of the hose: without a shroud the dust never reaches the extractor.

The guides
One standard, hazard or program per page, with the paragraph it comes from and the date it was last checked.
