New engineered stone guidance and inspection programme

HSE has published new guidance on working safely with engineered stone to help protect workers from exposure to silica dust.

The guidance applies to anyone cutting, grinding or polishing engineered stone. HSE inspectors will carry out more than 1,000 inspections of engineered stone fabricators across Great Britain to check compliance.
