In addition to the most obvious hazards associated with this work the less obvious but equally important is exposure to silica dust. Many operation performed on quarry site from drilling, excavating, crushing, screening and grinding can produce significant levels of respirable silica dust. Further, bulk material […]

People working in worktop manufacturing, concrete productions, quarries and stonemasonries are usually most at risk from exposure to respirable crystalline silica. Silica is a natural substance found in most rocks, […]
