Silica dust – are you health aware?
Employers, did you know it’s your legal responsibility to ensure your workers are trained in identifying hazards and the appropriate controls needed to keep them safe?
In recent years there's been a growing concern over the health impacts of exposure to silica dust. Silica can be found in many common construction products. Exposure can result in severe medical conditions such as lung cancer, Silicosis, kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
If you or your employees are working with concrete, tiles, block, stone, engineered stone or any materials that potentially expose them to respirable crystalline silica - this silica awareness training course is for you and your team.
This course helps you to understand and implement the Managing respirable crystalline silica dust exposure in construction and manufacturing of construction elements Code of Practice 2022.
For funding information, see Course Details below or contact us (eligibility applies).
