Dust in DrillingConditioning of the work site:

  • Develop a health and safety plan specific to the site. The plan must include commitments to recognize conditions that may generate silica dust and to describe the strategies for the control or elimination of dust. Include engineering controls, personal protective equipment and work practices.
