FREE Webinar: Protecting Workers from Silica Dust – Essential Guidance for the Construction Industry

FREE Webinar: Protecting Workers from Silica Dust – Essential Guidance for the Construction Industry

Silica dust is one of the most serious health hazards facing workers in construction. Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica can cause irreversible lung diseases such as silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and even lung cancer. With thousands of workers in Ireland at risk every year, understanding how to control and prevent silica dust exposure is vital for both worker safety and compliance with HSA regulations.

To address this critical issue, Catherine Healy, Occupational Hygienist at Shorcontrol Safety, will host a FREE 45 minute webinar tailored for construction employers, site managers, and safety professionals. With a PhD in Occupational Health & Hygiene, a BOHS Diploma in Professional Competence in Occupational Hygiene, and over 13 years of practical experience, Catherine brings unparalleled expertise in occupational health. Her PhD research focused specifically on respirable crystalline silica exposure among stone workers, and her findings have been published in leading occupational hygiene journals.

By attending this webinar, you will learn:

• The serious health risks associated with silica dust exposure

• Practical control measures to protect workers on-site

• Best practice strategies to ensure compliance with HSA standards

Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your organisation’s approach to worker health and safety.
