Natural Stone Council joins the Construction Industry Safety Coalition to work for a practical OSHA Silica Rule

On September 17, 2013, in response to OSHA’s recently released proposed silica rule, the Natural Stone Council’s Board of Directors unanimously voted to join the newly formed Construction Industry Safety Coalition (CISC).

The CISC is seeking practical and cost-effective crystalline silica regulation that improves safety and health protection measures for workers. The Coalition represents thousands of employers working to protect hundreds of thousands of workers in home building, road repair, heavy industrial production, specialty trades, materials supply, and now the natural stone industry.
