Safety literacy: silica, isocyanates, SDS, HazCom
Enough to support the crew and not look lost when EHS walks in.
- Produce an SDS pack without rummaging
- Treat silica and isocyanate controls as real rules, not posters
- Know what OSHA 10/30 and NACE awareness mean for this shop
What you must be literate in
Silica: grinding and blasting concrete makes dust that scars lungs. We use vacuums, shrouds, and sometimes wet methods — not heroic sweeping. Isocyanates: some urethane and polyaspartic products. Exposure controls, medical surveillance if required, and no casual 'it doesn't smell that bad.' HazCom: every product labeled, SDS available, crew briefed. Spill kit and emergency numbers in the job file and in the trailer.
