Silica is the fine, particulate dust that occurs during several industrial processes, including mining. By itself it is not immediately dangerous, but inhalation over a long period of time can lead to a fatal disease called silicosis. Silicosis causes scar tissue to form over delicate lung tissue, making breathing extremely difficult and eventually impossible.
Even though the federal government dictates that workers exposed to silica dust must wear protective respirators, not every respirator is up to the challenge of protecting the safety of the workers who wear them. Unfortunately, most workers who need these respirators are unaware of the damage done to them until many years later, which makes treatment of many health conditions difficult if not impossible.
If you are the victim of a faulty silica respirator you have rights. Your health should not be endangered because your safety equipment failed in its only task. Let a team of experienced and dedicated legal professionals help you discover the right course of action for you. Contact someone today.
