A new national guide for Working with silica and silica containing products provides information about controlling the risks of exposure to silica dust when working with silica and products containing silica. This includes information on hazardous activities such as drilling or cutting rock, concrete, brick, etc.
SafeWork Australia guidance material informs the minimum standards that must be applied and should not be ignored or dismissed as a guide only.
