South Australia introduces new regulations on engineered stone “The South Australian regulations, announced by Industrial Relations Minister Kyam Maher on August 1, will make it an offence for a person conducting a business to direct or allow a worker to process engineered stone without specific control measures in place to minimise the risk of silica dust inhalation. All workers involved in cutting, grinding, trimming, sanding, or drilling engineered stone products must be provided with respiratory protective equipment and use a dust control system such as a water suppressant or exhaust ventilation. Fines of up to $3m and prison sentences of up to five years are on the cards for businesses that break the new laws, set to come into effect on September 1.” Learn more from SafeWork SA: https://ow.ly/AZ2x50PqErE
