It’s not just stonemasons who are at risk of exposure to #silicadust. If you work with materials like concrete, dry wall, mortar, tiles or recycled building products, and there’s a significant risk to your health due to your exposure, you must undergo regular health monitoring.

This involves examination and ongoing monitoring to check if what you’re exposed to is affecting your health. Under the regulations, your employer must organise this for you and cover the costs.
