SHAPING HEALTH IN CONSTRUCTION: SILICA DUST
In collaboration with the Health In Construction Leadership Group (HCLG), join industry experts from Balfour Beatty, Laing O’Rourke & 3M (PPE specialists), as they discuss the health effects of Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) and offer first hand experiences of collaborative strategies to control exposure. RCS, a common byproduct in construction activities such as cutting, grinding, and drilling, poses significant health risks, including silicosis, lung cancer, and other respiratory diseases.
The session will explore practical measures and innovative technologies that can be implemented to minimise dust generation and exposure. Additionally, the workshop will foster a collaborative environment where industry professionals can share best practices, discuss regulatory requirements, and take forward actionable improvements to protect workers. By working together, we can create safer construction sites and ensure the long-term health and well-being of our workforce. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a critical conversation that could save lives.
