The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is drafting new guidelines for tradesmen working with engineered stone after report shows increased risk to silicosis.

HSE is asking for industry feedback from the Worktop Fabricators Federation โ€“ an association promoting good working practices for worktop fabrication and stone masonry industries โ€“ who were presented with draft guidelines to review.

Dust created from working with stone can include silica and significant exposure can cause silicosis, a respiratory disease.
