- Jobs in blasting, foundry work, stonecutting, quarrying, or tunneling
- Diagnosed with silicosis, lung cancer, or related respiratory disease
- Inadequate respiratory protection on the job
Silicosis may develop years after exposure. State deadlines and discovery rules apply—seek review without delay.
Silica exposure risks
Crystalline silica becomes airborne when chipped, cut, drilled, or ground. OSHA warns it remains a serious threat to nearly 2 million U.S. workers, including more than 100,000 in high-risk jobs.
Breathing silica particles scars the lungs, reduces oxygen intake, and can lead to silicosis, lung cancer, and other debilitating or fatal diseases. Lawsuits target employers and manufacturers that failed to protect workers.
