Silica Dust Exposure Control Inspection Form

Construction sites face serious health risks from respirable crystalline silica dust exposure during cutting, grinding, drilling, and demolition work. OSHA's Silica Standard requires employers to implement engineering controls, provide respiratory protection, and conduct regular inspections to protect workers from silicosis and other respiratory diseases.

This Silica Dust Exposure Control Inspection Form helps construction companies, safety managers, and contractors document compliance with silica exposure controls. The template covers water suppression system checks, ventilation verification, respiratory protection programs, and engineering control effectiveness—all critical components of a comprehensive silica safety program.

Built with Paperform, this inspection form streamlines your safety documentation process with conditional logic that adapts questions based on the type of work being performed and controls in use. You can capture photos of equipment, record measurements, and flag deficiencies that require immediate attention. Each submission creates a timestamped record that demonstrates your commitment to worker protection and regulatory compliance.

Safety teams can embed this form directly into their daily inspection workflows or share it via mobile devices for on-site assessments. When issues are identified, use Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically route corrective action requests to the right supervisors, send follow-up reminders, and update your safety management system—keeping your team protected and your projects compliant without manual paperwork.

For construction firms managing multiple job sites, this template provides consistent documentation across crews while meeting OSHA Table 1 requirements and preparing you for compliance audits. Whether you're a general contractor, specialty trades company, or safety consultant, this form helps you protect your workforce from one of construction's most serious occupational hazards.
