Research in Australia and overseas has found workers in the engineered stone benchtop industry can be exposed to levels of respirable crystalline silica which are hazardous to their health. Workers can be exposed to silica dust whilst dry cutting, grinding, sanding, and polishing stone bench tops and during the installation process.

The Fact Sheet for Workers outlines the process for making a compensation claim for workers with a provisional or confirmed diagnosis of silicosis, and the responsibility of insurers where a claim has been made.

The Living with Silicosis Fact Sheet was developed by the Lung Foundation Australia, and provides a brief overview of silica and silicosis, including symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, self-management.
