Deadline nears for submissions on planned engineered stone ban

The deadline for making submissions on the proposed engineered stone ban is approaching, and Safe Work Australia encourages stakeholders to send their feedback through Safe Work Australia’s Engage website.

Exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust causes silicosis.

Safe Work Australia said, ‘Workers, persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs), work health and safety (WHS) professionals, government agencies, industry and peak bodies, employer and worker representatives and any other interested parties are encouraged to make a submission.’

The deadline for making submissions is Sunday 2 April 2023, at 11.59pm AEST.
