The Challenge

01

Table 1 compliance requires daily documentation

OSHA Table 1 specifies engineering controls for 18 tasks. Documenting which controls are in use, every day, for every task is a massive burden.

02

Exposure monitoring triggers are easy to miss

If exposure exceeds the action level (25 ug/m3), medical surveillance is required. Without systematic tracking, you miss the trigger until OSHA finds it.

03

Medical surveillance records must be maintained

Workers exposed above the PEL need medical exams every 3 years. Tracking who qualifies across multiple projects and years is nearly impossible manually.

04

Multi-employer worksites multiply exposure risk

Your crew might be compliant, but the concrete cutter 20 feet away is not. Documenting your controls protects you from citations caused by other trades.

Silica Monitoring Features

“OSHA cited three contractors on one highway project for silica violations in a single week. We were not one of them because POD had every exposure record ready.”
