MAQOHSC has supported years of worker exposure and fixed point monitoring for respirable dust and silica. There has been a lot of work conducted in reducing exposures to dust. Recently the focus for sites has been task based monitoring and conditions monitoring. MAQOHSC are working together with CGC to deliver this presentation for SA mines and quarries.
Webinar - Update on Engineered Stone and the Complexity of its Health Effects
Date : Thursday March 30th, 2023 from 12-1pm EDST
This webinar discusses the variability of health hazards associated with the processing of engineered stone. The materials science of conventional benchtop engineered stone, new low-silica engineered stone products, as well as other construction materials are covered. The complexity of pathogenesis and implications of recent research is explored. Some challenges, misconceptions and future research directions are discussed.
