What the draft should be based on
Start with real shop facts: engineered stone or quartz products handled, cutting, grinding, polishing, drilling, cleanup, installation work, where work occurs, and which controls are used for each task.
Control and maintenance evidence
Keep records for water delivery, local exhaust, HEPA vacuums, dust collectors, restricted areas, filter service, hose repairs, tool service, and housekeeping practices. These records help reviewers understand whether the written plan matches day-to-day shop practice.
Worker-facing records
Organize training sign-in sheets, respirator fit-test records, respirator program checklist items, medical-surveillance checklist notes, and employee notification templates without storing unnecessary medical details.
