Engineered Stone

In light of rising silicosis cases worldwide, there is an urgent need to reassess and improve dust control practices, particularly concerning respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposure.

Silica, primarily found as respirable crystalline silica (RCS) in various industries, remains a significant health hazard with potentially severe implications such as silicosis, other respiratory diseases, and even cancer.

Artificial stone, particularly engineered stone used in countertops, poses significant health risks to workers involved in its manufacturing, finishing, and installation.

The emergence of silicosis among artificial stone fabrication workers has unveiled a troubling aspect of the industry: the apparent disregard by manufacturers and suppliers for the health and safety of those who work with their products.
