The presence of Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) in the workplace is not only an important OH&S issue, but a human health issue in many industrial workplaces. RCS found in sand, stone, concrete and mortar has proven to be extremely dangerous to human health and increasingly harmful. When stone products containing crystalline silica are cut, crushed, drilled, polished, ground and processed, toxic dust particles can be breathed in and lodge deep into the lungs causing dire health complications.
Next week we’ll be attending the AIOH Conference in Melbourne where our expert RCS Analysis Team from Perth will be in attendance. Kim Rodgers and Rhys Thomas from our WA laboratory will be available to answer questions about RCS testing using the latest, fastest instrumentation.
