Silicosis kills. Caused by prolonged exposure to silica dust, it is a serious and potentially life-threatening lung disease and it's increasingly affecting more and more Victorian workers.
Victorian unions are calling for a ban on the importation of engineered stone to protect workers. But Victorian workers and HSR's still need to know how to protect themselves from silicosis and their rights in Victoria when working around Silica dust.
That's why Trades hall and Slater & Gordon are hosting a webinar on Zoom on Thursday 29 June at 4PM with Emily Archer, Slater & Gordon's expert in dust diseases.
We'll be discussing where workers at most at risk, how to treat silicosis and your rights in Victoria when working with Silica.
You don't want to miss this. Silicosis is an emerging OH&S crisis and HSR's and informed workers are our best defence against its spread.
