Speaker: Thomas Hysler, Chief Medical Officer, Houston Area Safety Council
How often do my employees need to have a silica exam? Why is a tuberculosis test needed? What happens if my employees are exposed to silica? Silicosis is a chronic irreversible disease that affects multiple body organs. OSHA has recently mandated additional criteria for surveillance and screening of workers to help prevent this severe disease from occurring.
