Laticrete Supercap Offers Solution to OSHA’s Silica Regulation

Independent third-party testing has confirmed that Laticrete Supercap can help contractors and installers comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) new workplace standards that reduces the allowable amount of exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust in construction projects.

Conducted at a Boston University construction project, Fuss and O’Neill, an independent industrial hygiene consultant, concluded that an installation of Supercap SC500 through the patented Supercap System, contributed no respirable silica dust on the jobsite or surrounding areas. Supercap SC500 also produced no foreseeable exposure to any of the workers involved in the process, thus ensuring compliance with OSHA’s new silica dust regulations.
