Webinario que organiza la IOHA sobre la exposición a la sílice cristalina y las innovaciones preventivas que se desarrollan en el mundo sobre este tema, el cual consideramos que puede ser de tu interés.
Date/Time: December 8, 2025: 0700 to 0830h EST; 1300 to 1430h CET; 1900 to 2030 ICT; 2300 to 0030h AEDT
IOHA Webinar Alert: IOHA is excited to share its next webinar taking place on December 8, 2025, where several instructors, will speak on Crystalline Silica Exposure and the innovative practices shaping prevention worldwide.
Join us for a global look at crystalline silica exposure and the innovative practices shaping prevention efforts worldwide.
The webinar will highlight South Africa’s 20-year journey to reduce and eliminate respirable crystalline silica exposure driven by strengthened regulations, advanced dust-control technologies, industry collaboration, and robust worker education initiatives. These coordinated efforts have led to dramatic reductions in dust levels and silicosis cases, offering valuable lessons for mining and industrial sectors everywhere while underscoring the need for continued vigilance.
Participants will also explore practical tools and methods that support more efficient and proactive risk management from research out of Australia. Participants will learn about a portable, validated system for generating dust to support pre-work risk assessments and the calibration of portable FTIR instruments for silica measurement. The session will discuss how this research reinforces the need for best practices when using real-time dust monitors. In addition, attendees will be introduced to OHCOW’s Silica Control Tool™ from Canada: an evidence-based, user-friendly platform that helps workplaces assess tasks, estimate exposures, and select appropriate controls empowering occupational hygienists and safety professionals to make faster, more informed decisions that protect workers’ health.
