Silica Exposure Control Plan & Program
Available for: General Industry
Respirable crystalline silica is a Group 1 human carcinogen — and silicosis is irreversible. This guided Written Exposure Control Plan (ECP) template gives general industry employers and EHS professionals a fully structured, facility-ready document covering every element required under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1053: task inventory, exposure assessment, engineering controls, regulated areas, respiratory protection, medical surveillance, housekeeping, hazard communication, and recordkeeping. Built for the full range of general industry silica environments — from engineered stone fabrication and foundry operations to abrasive blasting, ceramics, and concrete products manufacturing.
What's Included:
Industry and task inventory matrix — document all silica-generating processes by work area, material, frequency, and exposure potential across 11 covered industry sectors
Exposure assessment framework — Performance Option, Scheduled Monitoring Option, and Objective Data paths, with action thresholds and re-monitoring schedules by result
Engineering and work practice controls section — hierarchy of controls, process-area control documentation table, and prohibited practices (dry sweeping, compressed air, job rotation as primary control)
Medical surveillance schedule — eligibility triggers based on Action Level exposure (key distinction from the construction standard), examination components (B Reader chest X-ray, spirometry, TB testing), and PLHCP confidentiality requirements
Annual review checklist, regulated area requirements, housekeeping requirements, hazard communication, training content requirements, and a full 30-year recordkeeping schedule
Aligned with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1053 — Respirable Crystalline Silica (General Industry & Maritime)
