At GW Surfaces, we are deeply committed to the safety and health of our workers and clients. In light of recent silica regulations in Australia, which ban the use of engineered stone to combat the risks of silicosis, we want to assure our community that we adhere to the highest safety standards.
Understanding Silicosis and the New Regulations
Silicosis is a serious lung disease caused by inhaling silica dust, often found in engineered stone. The new Australian regulations aim to protect workers from this hazard by banning certain high-silica materials. While these regulations are specific to Australia, they highlight the importance of safety in our industry worldwide.
