With upcoming compliance dates, many mine operators are busy putting into place silica exposure monitoring programs to meet MSHA Final Silica Rule requirements. One cost-effective measure that mine operators can take is to rent silica sampling equipment. Doing so eliminates cost of ownership, including annual pump service and flowmeter calibration/certification. Another is to order SKC PPI® Samplers that ensure sample integrity and defensible data. The ease comes from having all you need from one source, and the design of both SKC sampling pumps and PPI Samplers—ready to use, intuitive, precise, and effective.

While the aim of the new MSHA Final Silica Rule is to enhance the health and safety of miners, there are significant costs involved for mining operations. Gaining an understanding of these costs is crucial for effectively managing budgets while ensuring compliance. Read on as SKC’s Corporate Industrial Hygienist Dusty Ott, CIH provides a breakdown and discussion of the true cost of silica exposure sampling and its implications.
