Message from the Presiding MemberDB

“I’m proud to be presiding over the important work of the Mining and Quarrying Occupational Health and Safety Committee. This is a pivotal time in our work here in SA, and for stakeholders all over the world, as we work to tackle the worrying resurgence of occupational lung diseases, and the challenges presented by engineered stone. The safest work practices start with prevention, and I’m committed to the tripartite vision of the committee to reduced dust disease through exposure prevention, education and research in South Australia.”
