Our rule to #StopSilicosis

Hi, all-

We hope you heard exciting news that DOL’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced its final silica rule yesterday. It will help curb lung cancer, silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and kidney disease in workers exposed to silica dust on the job, and save hundreds of lives each year.

Watch the powerful video below and help spread the word on our rule to #StopSilicosis: 

 

Also, be sure to read Secretary Perez’s blog post about the rule. To get more information – including fact sheets and answers to FAQs – visit osha.gov/silica.

Thank you for your support,

Office of Public Engagement, U.S. Department of Labor
