PERMANENT RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
LABOR AND INDUSTRIES
[Filed March 20, 2018, 2:24 p.m., effective April 23, 2018]
Effective Date of Rule: April 23, 2018.
Purpose: This rule making is in response to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) final rule for respirable crystalline silica in 29 C.F.R. 1926.1153 (Construction) and 29 C.F.R. 1910.1053 (General Industry/Maritime) which became effective on June 23, 2016. The department is required to update their rules to be at-least-as-effective-as OSHA.
The department's respirable crystalline silica rule covers construction and general industry in one rule (chapter 296-840 WAC), whereas OSHA has separate rules for each. The new silica chapter addresses and limits worker exposure to respirable crystalline silica in workplaces, with the intent of curbing lung cancer incidents, silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and kidney disease in Washington workers. Furthermore, the following sections under WAC 296-841-20025 and 296-307-62625 were updated to reference the respirable crystalline silica rule.
The effective date of the rule is April 23, 2018, and the compliance dates are as follows:
For occupational exposures to respirable crystalline silica in construction work, employers must comply with all obligations of the rule by October 1, 2018.
For all occupational exposures to respirable crystalline silica other than construction work, employers must comply with all obligations of the rule by July 1, 2019, except:
º
Employers must comply with the medical surveillance requirements for employees exposed above the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for thirty or more days per year beginning on July 1, 2019.
º
Employers must comply with the medical surveillance requirements for employees exposed above the action level (AL) for thirty or more days per year beginning on June 23, 2020.
º
For hydraulic and fracturing operations in the oil and gas industry, employers must comply with the engineering control requirements beginning on July 1, 2022.

AMENDATORY SECTION (Amending WSR 06-08-087, filed 4/4/06, effective 9/1/06)
WAC 296-307-62625 Permissible exposure limits of air contaminants.
IMPORTANT:
The following information applies to Table 3, Permissible Exposure Limits for Air Contaminants.
• Exposure needs to be determined from personal air samples taken in the breathing zone or from monitoring representative of the employee's breathing zone.
• Ppm refers to parts of vapor or gas per million parts of air by volume, at 25 degrees C and 760 mm Hg pressure.
• Mg/m3 refers to milligrams of substance per cubic meter of air.
• For a metal that is measured as the metal itself, only the CAS number for the metal is given. The CAS numbers for individual compounds of the metal are not provided. For more information about CAS registry numbers see the web site: http://www.cas.org.
• Time weighted averages (TWA8) represent the maximum allowed average exposure for any 8-hour time period. For work periods longer than 8 hours the TWA8 needs to be determined using the 8 continuous hours with the highest average concentration.
• Short-term exposure limits (STEL) represent maximum allowed average exposure for any fifteen-minute period, unless another time period is noted in Table 3.
• The ceiling represents the maximum allowed exposure for the shortest time period that can feasibly be measured.
• An "X" in the "skin" column indicates the substance can be absorbed through the skin, either by airborne or direct contact.
• Requirements for the use of gloves, coveralls, goggles, and other personal protective equipment can be found in WAC 296-307-100.
• The respirable fraction of particulate is measured by sampling with a size-selector having the following characteristics:

Regulated area. An area, demarcated by the employer, where an employee's exposure to airborne concentrations of respirable crystalline silica exceeds, or can reasonably be expected to exceed, the PEL.
Respirable crystalline silica. Quartz, cristobalite, and/or tridymite contained in airborne particles that are determined to be respirable by a sampling device designed to meet the characteristics for respirable-particle-size-selective samplers specified in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 7708:1995: Air quality – Particle size fraction definitions for health-related sampling.
Specialist. An American Board Certified Specialist in Pulmonary Disease or an American Board Certified Specialist in Occupational Medicine.
NEW SECTION
WAC 296-840-100 Scope and application.
This chapter applies to all occupational exposures to respirable crystalline silica, except for the following:
(1) Where employee exposure results from the processing of sorptive clays.
(2) Where documented objective data demonstrates that employee exposures to respirable crystalline silica will remain below 25 micrograms per cubic meter of air (25 μg/m3) as an 8-hour TWA under any foreseeable conditions.
NEW SECTION
WAC 296-840-105 Exposure assessment.
This section applies to all occupational exposures except for tasks performed according to the requirements in WAC 296-840-110.
(1) Permissible exposure limit (PEL). You must ensure that no employee is exposed to an airborne concentration of respirable crystalline silica in excess of the 8-hour TWA.
(2) Exposure assessment. You must assess the exposure of each employee who is or may reasonably be expected to be exposed to respirable crystalline silica at or above the action level in accordance with either the performance option in (a) of this subsection or the scheduled monitoring option in (b) of this subsection.
(a) Performance option. You must assess the 8-hour TWA for each employee on the basis of any combination of air monitoring data or objective data sufficient to accurately characterize employee exposures to respirable crystalline silica.
(b) Scheduled monitoring option:
(i) You must perform initial monitoring to assess the 8-hour TWA for each employee on the basis of personal breathing zone air samples that reflect the exposures of employees on each shift, for each job classification, in each work area.
(ii) Where several employees perform the same tasks on the same shift and in the same work area, you may sample a representative fraction of these employees in order to meet this requirement.
(iii) In representative sampling, you must sample the employee(s) who are expected to have the highest exposure to respirable crystalline silica.
(iv) If initial monitoring indicates that employee exposures are below the action level, you may discontinue monitoring for those employees whose exposures are represented by such monitoring.
(v) Where the most recent exposure monitoring indicates that employee exposures are at or above the action level but at or below the PEL, you must repeat such monitoring within six months of the most recent monitoring.
(vi) Where the most recent exposure monitoring indicates that employee exposures are above the PEL, the employer shall repeat such monitoring within three months of the most recent monitoring.
(vii) Where the most recent (noninitial) exposure monitoring indicates that employee exposures are below the action level, you must repeat such monitoring within six months of the most recent monitoring until two consecutive measurements, taken seven or more days apart, are below the action level, at which time the employer may discontinue monitoring for those employees whose exposures are represented by such monitoring, except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) of this section.
(3) Reassessment of exposures. You must reassess exposures whenever a change in the production, process, control equipment, personnel, or work practices may reasonably be expected to result in new or additional exposures at or above the action level, or when the employer has any reason to believe that new or additional exposures at or above the action level have occurred.
(4) Methods of sample analysis. You must ensure that all samples taken to satisfy the monitoring requirements of subsection (2) of this section are evaluated by a laboratory that analyzes air samples for respirable crystalline silica in accordance with the procedures in WAC 296-840-165 Appendix AMethods of sample analysis of this chapter.
(5) Employee notification of assessment results.
(a) Individually notify each affected employee in writing of the results of that assessment or post the results in an appropriate location accessible to all affected employees in accordance with the following:
(i) Construction employers must notify affected employees within five working days after receiving any results of an exposure assessment in accordance with this rule.
(ii) All other employers must notify affected employees within fifteen working days after receiving any results of an exposure assessment in accordance with this rule.
(b) Whenever an exposure assessment indicates that employee exposure is above the PEL, you must describe in the written notification the corrective action being taken to reduce employee exposure to or below the PEL.
(6) Observation of monitoring.
(a) Where air monitoring is performed to comply with the requirements of this chapter, you must provide affected employees or their designated representatives an opportunity to observe any monitoring of employee exposure to respirable crystalline silica.
(b) When observation of monitoring requires entry into an area where the use of protective clothing or equipment is required for any workplace hazard, you must provide the observer with protective clothing and equipment at no cost and shall ensure that the observer uses such clothing and equipment.
NEW SECTION
WAC 296-840-110 Specified exposure control methods.
This section applies to construction work and other occupational exposures where the task performed is indistinguishable from a construction task listed in Table 1 of this section and the task will not be performed regularly in the same environment and conditions.
(1) For each employee engaged in a task identified in Table 1 of this section, you must fully and properly implement the engineering controls, work practices, and respiratory protection specified for the task in Table 1 of this section, unless you assess and limit the exposure of the employee to respirable crystalline silica in accordance with WAC 296-840-105.
(2) When implementing the control measures specified in Table 1 of this section, you must:
(a) For tasks performed indoors or in enclosed areas, provide a means of exhaust as needed to minimize the accumulation of visible airborne dust;
(b) For tasks performed using wet methods, apply water at flow rates sufficient to minimize release of visible dust;
(c) For measures implemented that include an enclosed cab or booth, ensure that the enclosed cab or booth:
(i) Is maintained as free as practicable from settled dust;
(ii) Has door seals and closing mechanisms that work properly;
(iii) Has gaskets and seals that are in good condition and working properly;
(iv) Is under positive pressure maintained through continuous delivery of fresh air;
(v) Has intake air that is filtered through a filter that is ninety-five percent efficient in the 0.3-10.0 μm range (e.g., MERV-16 or better); and
(vi) Has heating and cooling capabilities.
(3) Where an employee performs more than one task in Table 1 of this section during the course of a shift, and the total duration of all tasks combined is more than four hours, the required respiratory protection for each task is the respiratory protection specified for more than four hours per shift. If the total duration of all tasks in Table 1 of this section combined is less than four hours, the required respiratory protection for each task is the respiratory protection specified for less than four hours per shift.

WAC 296-841-20025 Permissible exposure limits (PELs).
IMPORTANT:
The following information applies to Table 3, Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) for Airborne Contaminants.
(1) Ppm refers to parts of vapor or gas per million parts of air by volume, at 25 degrees C and 760 mm Hg pressure.
(2) Mg/m3 refers to milligrams of an airborne contaminant per cubic meter of air.
(3) F/cc refers to fibers per cubic centimeter of air.
(4) For a metal that is measured as the metal itself, only the CAS number for the metal is given. The CAS numbers for individual compounds of the metal are not provided. For more information about CAS registry numbers see the web site: http://www.cas.org.
(5) Short-term exposure limits (STEL) pertain to fifteen-minute exposure periods, unless another time period is noted in Table 3.
(6) An "X" in the "skin" column indicates the contaminant can be absorbed through the skin, either by airborne or direct contact.
(a) Personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent skin contact may be needed to minimize the risk for adverse health effects when employees are exposed to these chemicals.
(b) Requirements for the use of gloves, coveralls, goggles, and other personal protective equipment can be found in WAC 296-800-160, Personal protective equipment (PPE).
(7) Nuisance dusts (also known as inert dusts) are included in the Table 3 listing, particulates not otherwise regulated (PNOR).
The PNOR listing in Table 3 also applies to other particulate airborne contaminants for which a specific PEL is NOT listed unless the airborne contaminant is found to require a lower limit.
(8) The respirable fraction of a particulate airborne contaminant is measured by sampling with a size-selector having the following characteristics:
