  3. This common mineral is found in rock, soil and sand

  4. What is SILICA

  5. This type of silica causes harm to workers

  6. What is Crystalline

  7. Most common form of crystalline silica

  8. While more rare, these forms of crystalline silica are more toxic

  9. What are Cristobalite and Tridymite

  10. Crystalline silica is a hazard when it becomes this

  11. What is respirable dust

  12. According to OSHA, workers should not be exposed to more than this concentration of silica

  13. What is the Permissible Exposure Limit:50 micrograms/cubic meter of air averaged over 8-hour day.

  14. The metric symbol “µg” means this fraction of a measure of weight

  15. What is a microgram, one millionth of a gram

  16. This combination puts you at much greater risk for getting lung cancer

  17. What is exposure to respirable crystalline silica and smoking

  18. Doing this to concrete may create hazardous silica dust

  19. What is cutting, drilling, coring, grinding, pulverizing

  20. Using silica to do this job creates very high exposures to harmful dust

  21. What is abrasive blasting or sandblasting

  22. A U of W study found this task >80% likely to overexpose workers to hazardous silica dust

  23. What is tuckpoint grinding

  24. Four categories of responsibility on multi-employer worksites

  25. What are: Creating Exposing Controlling Correcting

  26. Silica seriously damages this body part

  27. What are your lungs

  28. In 1997 crystalline silica was listed as this in humans

  29. What is a carcinogen(cancer causing)

  30. These 3 forms of this disease are most associated with silica dust exposures

  31. What are acute, accelerated and chronic silicosis

  32. Shortness of breath, wheezing, and decreased lung capacity are symptoms of this disease

  33. What is Chronic silicosis

  34. This pyramid helps define control strategies

  35. What is the Hierarchy of Controls

  36. These are preferred because they eliminate the hazard

  37. What are Engineering controls

  38. These two methods are the primary ways to control silica dust

  39. What are wet methods and local exhaust ventilation

  40. This says employers must control exposure to silica, create a plan, train workers, and offer medical surveillance

  41. What is the 2016 federal OSHA Silica Standard for Construction
