• Explain what crystalline silica is and where it is found
• Identify silica-containing materials used during fabrication and installation activities
• Describe the health effects associated with silica exposure
• Recognize tasks that may generate respirable silica dust
• Understand the hierarchy of controls and methods used to reduce silica exposure
• Apply safe work practices during installation activities
