In Class
The Victorian Government has recently made changes to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations that ban certain tasks in relation to the processing of ‘engineered stone’ products. However, numerous other materials such as concrete, bricks and mortar, also contain crystalline silica. Silica dust can be harmful when it's inhaled into your lungs. Exposure can lead to deadly diseases, including:  
  • Silicosis
  • Lung Cancer
  • Kidney Disease
  • Autoimmune Disease
Silicosis occurs when crystalline silica dust scars the lungs. It's a serious and incurable disease, with symptoms including shortness of breath, coughing, fatigue and weight loss. In severe cases, silicosis can lead to death.   Recovre has developed a 1-hour Crystalline Silica Awareness session that will provide you with introductory information on Crystalline Silica.

Who should attend?

This information session is suitable for any person that may be involved with building maintenance, construction / demolition work, stonemasonry and contractor management.  It is also suitable for a general audience that may wish to gain a better understanding of Crystalline Silica.
