Construction trades workers are employed in a large variety of occupations that are involved in all aspects of the construction industry. Unfortunately, some of these occupations provide opportunities for exposure to health hazards. For example crystalline silica exposure from jackhammering operations. A representative from OSHA's Directorate of Standards and Guidance will be providing a brief summary and regulatory update of the construction-related health hazards published in the most current Federal Register.
