Good afternoon and Happy Friday! This week’s safety snippet is all things silica with a bonus document regarding common inspection frequencies from The NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control. The links pertain to silica safety whether it be in art/kiln rooms or when working with masonry. These resources are from: CDC/NIOSH, OSHA, Princeton University, and “The Pottery Wheel.” Enjoy your weekend and stay safe!
