Dust diseases / silicosis resources and support services
On 13 December 2023, WHS ministers representing the Commonwealth, states and territories agreed to Safe Work Australia’s recommendation to prohibit the use of engineered stone to protect thousands of workers from respirable crystalline silica (silica dust).
Further information regarding dust diseases, as well as a number of resources and support services from the Lung Foundation Australia, are provided on our dedicated Dust Diseases webpage.
