As part of National Safe Work Month in October, we look forward to presenting this webinar to raise awareness of silica dust and ways to create safer workplaces. This webinar is the first in a two-part series of ‘Ask an Expert’ where you get to hear from experts in the field of silica dust and related hot topics.
You will have the opportunity to submit questions to the speakers upon registration and during the live presentation.
