The construction industry will be a focus for the OSHA inspectors. OSHA fines can start at $12,000 and escalate quickly. Employers found to be willfully negligent could be turned over to the District Attorney’s office for prosecution. The Stucco Manufacturers Association (SMA) has put a program together to help plastering contractors comply with the new standard. This SMA Silica Compliance Program will evolve with time, but has the minimums that a contractor will need to be in compliance. The SMA believes joining the SMA Silica Compliance Program is the most cost effective...

In short it does! Many plastering contractors believe they are exempt, but the reality is traditional plastering is a target of OSHA. Traditional plaster (cement-based stucco finish, three coat scratch and brown, and one coat) all are made from cement and silica sand, which have trace amounts of respirable silica. OSHA knows this and if they see any dust on your jobsite, they will ask for proof you are complying with the exposure standard. Pleading that you did not know about the requirement or thought that it did not apply to you...

]]> Crack Isolation System https://omega-products.com/crack-isolation-system/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=crack-isolation-system Wed, 22 Nov 2017 17:04:54 +0000 https://www.omega-products.com/?p=3609 Crack Isolation System is designed to mitigate surface cracking in new and existing plaster systems by integrating woven fiberglass mesh into the base coat prior to applying the finish. The Crack Isolation System can either embed the mesh directly into the wet brown coat or embed mesh into an acrylic modified base coat over the existing plaster base coat or finish. When properly installed, this mesh reinforces the stucco and helps to reduce the appearance of cracks. It is an excellent choice to repair stucco cracking on existing walls.

Efflorescence is the end result of water dissolving the salts that are naturally present within cement-based products. This salt solution migrates to the finished surface and a salt deposit remains after the water evaporates. Efflorescence often occurs during periods of wet, cold weather and can occur on the surface of any cement-based product such as masonry, concrete, brick, and stucco. Typically, efflorescence occurs shortly after the completion of the building project, but this is not a definite rule as efflorescence can occur and reoccur at anytime as long as the conditions for its cause are...
