Protecting workers in the manufactured stone industry from lung diseases is the focus of a new safety taskforce that has been established. The Manufactured Stone Industry Taskforce has been convened by SafeWork NSW and comprises industry, peak bodies, medical professionals, unions and other government agencies including the Lung Foundation, Australian Industry Group and Unions NSW. The taskforce will review safety standards and consider safety improvements to better protect workers from crystalline silica dust exposure, which can lead to the lung disease silicosis.
