Occupational Exposures to Respirable Crystalline Silica During Hydraulic Fracturing
TL;DR: Companies that conduct hydraulic fracturing using silica sand should evaluate their operations to determine the potential for worker exposure to respirable crystalline silica and implement controls as necessary to protect workers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advancing the framework for considering the effects of climate change on worker safety and health
Paul A. Schulte,A. Bhattacharya,Corey Butler,HeeKyoung Chun,B. Jacklitsch,T. Jacobs,Max Kiefer,Jennifer M. Lincoln,Stephanie M. Pendergrass,J. Shire,Joanna Watson,Gregory R. Wagner +11 more
TL;DR: This article reviews the published literature from 2008–2014 and identifies key priorities for action to better characterize and understand how occupational safety and health may be associated with climate change events and ensure that worker health and safety issues are anticipated, recognized, evaluated, and mitigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
