For some time now, workplace safety and health organisations in the UK and abroad have been raising awareness of the significant health risks of silica dust exposure, particularly the dangers of working with artificial stone and the risk of developing silicosis.

New evidence reveals that workers face significant health risks even when exposure remains below current regulatory limits.
