crystalline silica in excess of the PEL

construction in each Region
- At least 2 percent of inspections every year in each Region must be
silica-related

[Includes the OSHA logo]
Speaker Notes:
Inspections conducted under this NEP must focus on industries and particular establishments where
workers are potentially exposed to levels of crystalline silica in excess of the PEL. Additionally,
the silica-related inspections must be conducted at a range of facilities representing the
distribution of general industry and construction worksites in that OSHA Region.
At least 2 percent of inspections every year in each Region must be silica-related.
Each Area Office of Regional office that does not already have a Local Emphasis Program for
crystalline silica, will develop and implement a LEP for crystalline silica based on one or more of
the industries in Appendix B.
