Classic Rock Fabrication’s Commitment to Silica Safety

At Classic Rock Fabrication, safety is our top priority, and we take pride in it! In the bustling world of fabrication, where creativity meets craftsmanship, we understand the importance of maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for our team. Today, we’re thrilled to share our proactive approach to Silica Safety and how we’re leading the charge in keeping our facilities pristine and our workers protected.

Silicosis Prevention: Our Rock-Solid Strategy
Silicosis, a lung disease caused by inhaling crystalline silica dust when fabricating natural and engineered stone, is a pressing concern in our industry. That’s why we’ve gone the extra mile to ensure that every member of our team is equipped with the knowledge and tools to prevent it. From comprehensive re-training sessions to regular air quality testing, we leave no stone unturned in safeguarding our workforce.

Setting the Standard: Classic Rock’s Clean Sweep
Step into our facility, and you’ll notice something extraordinary – pristine cleanliness. We maintain impeccably clean workspaces. Not only does this enhance productivity, but it also minimizes health hazards associated with silica exposure. Strict engineering procedures include wet cutting, ventilation control, and workplace monitoring for Silica.. Our commitment to cleanliness isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a safe and healthy environment for our team to thrive.

Above and Beyond Compliance
We don’t just meet safety standards; we exceed them. We voluntarily invited OSHA to conduct testing, ensuring that our Harrisburg operations go above and beyond regulatory requirements. We also test all install crews, with the help of our Risk Control Consultant from EPIC. This proactive stance not only demonstrates our dedication to safety but also sets us apart from the competition. When you choose Classic Rock, you’re choosing peace of mind knowing that your project is in the hands of a safety-conscious team.

Protecting Homeowners from Silica Dust
Our installation teams are trained to follow strict safety protocols to minimize silica dust exposure. They use appropriate personal protective equipment and adhere to industry best practices to ensure the safety of themselves and homeowners. After completing a project, we thoroughly clean the workspace to remove any silica dust residue, ensuring that homeowners can enjoy their new surfaces without worrying about potential health risks.

Our Promise to You
As we continue our operations, let us remain diligent in adhering to established safety protocols, particularly those related to silica dust abatement during fabrication and installation processes. By prioritizing safety at every step, we not only protect ourselves, but also contribute to a healthier and more sustainable work environment here at Classic Rock.
