Táirgtear sileacan i bhfoirnéisí stua leictreacha báite le laghdú carbaitheasach ar ghrianchloiche (silica) i láthair cineálacha éagsúla laghdaitheoirí carbóin, mar shampla gual agus sliseanna adhmaid.
Silicon is produced in electric submerged arc furnaces with carbothermic reduction of quartz (silica) in the presence of various types of carbon reductants such as coal and wood chips.

D’fhonn bearta rialála a chomhlánú agus go háirithe d’fhonn tacú le cur chun feidhme éifeachtach na dteorainnluachanna, is ionstraimí luachmhara agus riachtanacha iad treoirlínte agus samplaí de dhea-chleachtais a chuireann an Coimisiún, na Ballstáit nó na comhpháirtithe sóisialta ar fáil, mar aon le tionscnaimh eile amhail an tIdirphlé Sóisialta dar teideal “Agreement on Workers’ Health Protection Through the Good Handling and Use of Crystalline Silica and Products Containing it” (NEPSi) agus ba cheart, dá bhrí sin, dianmhachnamh a dhéanamh orthu.
Guides and examples of good practices produced by the Commission, the Member States or the social partners, or other initiatives, such as the Social Dialogue ‘Agreement on Workers’ Health Protection Through the Good Handling and Use of Crystalline Silica and Products Containing it’ (NEPSi) are valuable and necessary instruments to complement regulatory measures and in particular to support the effective implementation of limit values, and should therefore be given serious consideration.
De bhun “Agreement on Workers' Health Protection Through the Good Handling and Use of Crystalline Silica and Products Containing it”, arna shíniú ag comhlachais atá ina mbaill den Líonra Eorpach um Shilice (NEPSI) agus ag comhaontuithe na gcomhpháirtithe sóisialta eile ina gcuirtear treoir agus uirlisí ar fáil chun tacú, i dteannta leis na bearta rialála, le cur chun feidhme éifeachtach oibleagáidí na bhfostóirí a leagtar síos i dTreoir 2004/37/CE.
The ‘Agreement on Workers' Health Protection Through the Good Handling and Use of Crystalline Silica and Products Containing it’, signed by the associations that form the European Network for Silica (NEPSI), and other social partners' agreements, which provide, in addition to regulatory measures, guidance and tools in order to support the effective implementation of the employers' obligations laid down in the Directive 2004/37/EC, are valuable instruments to complement regulatory measures.
