Additional Training

Please note that this course provides valuable Silica Awareness information which applies to the general population of workers who may be exposed to hazardous silica on the job. This course is not meant to replace company-specific training provided by your employer on equipment use and procedures for your particular work environment. Employers must ensure you are trained using the specific protective equipment you will use on site prior to commencing work. You must be trained by your employer on the hazards, equipment, engineering and administrative controls, safe work practices and emergency plans specific to your role and workplace.

In ALL situations, employers are required to ensure their employees are adequately trained to do their job.
