Here’s What We’ll Cover:
The Importance of Dust Health & Safety Training
Breathing harmful particulates, such as silica dust, can cause severe respiratory diseases, including:
- Silicosis: A progressive disease that causes inflammation and scarring in the lungs. This can make breathing difficult and increase the risk of lung infections. Silicosis usually develops after many years of exposure, but high levels of exposure over a short period of time can cause acute silicosis, which can be fatal.
- Lung cancer: Prolonged exposure to respirable dust can cause lung cancer.
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): A group of lung diseases that includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD can cause severe breathlessness, chronic coughing, and disability.
