Silica Testing & Air Monitoring in New Jersey

Protect Your Workers. Stay Compliant. Eliminate Hidden Hazards.

Respirable crystalline silica is a serious health risk present on many job sites — especially in construction, demolition, and industrial environments. Inhalation of silica dust can lead to permanent, life-threatening health conditions, including lung cancer and silicosis. Our licensed team provides accurate, professional silica testing and air monitoring services across New Jersey to ensure your worksite meets OSHA safety standards and protects every worker on-site.

What Is Crystalline Silica?

Crystalline silica is a naturally occurring mineral found in common materials such as:

  • Concrete

  • Brick

  • Stone

  • Sand

  • Mortar

  • Tile and grout

When these materials are cut, drilled, ground, or crushed, they release fine silica dust into the air. These respirable particles are small enough to be inhaled deep into the lungs, where they can cause irreversible damage over time.

The Health Risks of Silica Exposure

Long-term exposure to silica dust has been directly linked to serious, often fatal conditions:

  • Silicosis (an incurable, progressive lung disease)

  • Lung cancer

  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

  • Kidney disease

There is no known cure for silicosis. Early detection and proper dust control are essential to protecting health and ensuring legal compliance.

Who Needs Silica Testing?

Silica testing and air monitoring are necessary if you work in environments that include:

  • Concrete or masonry cutting

  • Sandblasting or abrasive blasting

  • Demolition and renovation projects

  • Stone countertop fabrication

  • Drywall sanding or plaster work

  • Industrial manufacturing with silica-based materials

OSHA’s Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard requires exposure assessments and controls when silica dust may be present on the job site.

Compliance Isn’t Optional — It’s the Law

OSHA requires that all employers assess employee exposure to respirable crystalline silica and implement controls when exposure exceeds permissible limits. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties and legal action — but more importantly, it puts lives at risk.
