Silica Physicals

A Silica Physical is designed for workers who may be exposed to respirable crystalline silica, which can lead to lung diseases such as silicosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). OSHA regulations mandate regular health screenings for these workers.

What a Silica Physical Includes

• Pulmonary function testing (PFT): Evaluates lung capacity and function to check for any damage caused by silica exposure.
• Chest X-rays: Detects any signs of lung damage or silicosis.
• Physical examination: Focuses on respiratory health, particularly in relation to lung function.
• Review of medical history and silica exposure levels: Helps assess risk and the need for ongoing monitoring.
