Silica Exposure Control Plan for concrete, masonry, and demolition contractors in Louisiana.
A GC in New Orleans wants a Silica Exposure Control Plan that names this project, this crew, and this scope. That is what you get here, in Word and PDF, English and Spanish.
What GCs in Louisiana check for
GCs and OSHA inspectors ask for the written plan by name under 29 CFR 1926.1153(g). They look for each task matched to its Table 1 row, the competent person, the housekeeping rules (no dry sweeping or compressed air), and how you keep other trades out of the dust.
In Louisiana, Federal OSHA is the enforcing agency. Where the state has its own requirement on this subject, the plan carries a Louisiana section that says so.
- Federal OSHA standards apply to private construction.
- Petrochemical owners along the river require ISNetworld or Avetta grades with a written safety program on file.
Every section a reviewer looks for is fixed and written against 29 CFR 1926.1153 and Table 1; your answers fill in the project, the hazards, the controls, and the names.
Competent persons, the nearest hospital, the muster point, and the emergency chain are all in it, because those are the lines a reviewer checks first.

Questions from Louisiana concrete and masonry subs
- Who enforces the silica standard in Louisiana?
- Private construction in Louisiana is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (Baton Rouge area office)). The respirable crystalline silica standard for construction applies either way, and the plan is written to 1926.1153(g).
- Do I need air monitoring?
- Not for tasks that match a Table 1 entry and follow its control fully. Tasks outside Table 1 need objective data or exposure monitoring; the plan has a section for those and tells you what it requires.
- Does a silica exposure control plan have to be state-specific in Louisiana?
- Private construction in Louisiana is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (Baton Rouge area office)). Your plan is written for the project address, and where Louisiana has its own rule on the subject the plan says so and applies the stricter requirement.
- Is this OSHA-approved?
- No document is. OSHA and the state programs do not approve written plans; they inspect against them. This plan is prepared from your answers, says so on page one, and you adopt and implement it. That is what a GC's safety director is checking for.
- How long does it take?
- About 15 minutes of questions on your phone, then the documents generate in under two minutes. Word and PDF, English and Spanish, with your logo on the cover.
- What if the GC asks for changes?
- Edit your answers and regenerate as often as you like for 30 days at no charge. Every version stays downloadable. If it is not what you needed, reply to any of our emails within 30 days for a full refund.
