Crystalline Silica Hazard Control Statement

A crystalline silica hazard control statement (hazard control statement) is a document. It is prepared for all high risk crystalline silica work (HRCSW) at a Workplace. The hazard control statement sets out: • the hazards and risks from the work • the measures to control those risks • how the control measures will be implemented. For quarrying or tunnelling processes, the hazard control statement must include the results of sample analysis. Find further guidance under the heading, Hazard control statement duties. Ensure affected employees and any HSRs on site have been consulted in the preparation of this hazard control statement.

Crystalline Silica Hazard Control Statement

Crystalline silica process (tick all that apply)

The use of a power tool or other form of mechanical plant to: • cut, grind, polish or crush material containing crystalline silica, or • carry out any other activity involving material containing crystalline silica that generates crystalline silica dust.
