Silica in Countertops: Solutions for a New Epidemic
Businesses and workers in the countertop fabrication and installation industry are facing a serious and growing threat. Silica dust from cutting, grinding, and polishing engineered stone is causing silicosis, a potentially fatal problem that is reaching crisis levels as the popularity of quartz and other manufactured surfaces surges.
RMCOEH is hosting a free seminar for businesses and workers in the industry, as well as safety professionals responsible for protecting these workers.
The seminar brings together industry voices, medical experts, researchers, and safety professionals to highlight the problem and promote solutions to ensure the well-being of businesses and their workers.
