Masonry firm fined for exposing workers to silica dust

摘要

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is warning employers who work with silica-based materials to take correct safety precautions after two employees of York-based stonemasons William Anelay Ltd were left with potentially life-shortening lung diseases.rnYork Crown Court heard that the two stonemasons fell ill after being exposed to uncontrolled levels of respirable crystalline silica over a 14-year period between May 1994 and July 2008.
