Love the one downvote. Makes it seem like someone needs their counter top of suffering, more than the lives of those who made it
Link doesn’t work. I think the text and URL are reversed. Copy link just returns “url”.
Thanks, I edited the post. Seems to work for me
Can’t the stone be cut and handled without generating airborn dust?
Some locations in Australia already had controls in place, such as requiring integrated water delivery systems and on tool dust extraction. PPE was a legal requirement on top of that. With all that it must have been decided it was still too dangerous, so I support the decision.
In another post about the same one of the comments was that despite the regulations workplace safety was bullshit and more people got sick. So the authorities decided it’s simpler to ban the thing altogether than to try to force everyone to comply to the regulations.
Not sure if that’s a good decision but it seems like the one with less casualties
Airfed masks with the correct filter is perfectly fine. Combined with water suppression on the Stone cutting machine.
Decent ones can be pricey at about £700 each but that’s cheaper than someone getting silicosis.
That’s what I figured. Sounds like they have a hard time enforcing and checking people get the correct PPE.
Yeah my company offers “Wear your PPE or hand in your notice” mentality
