New regulations regarding the management of crystalline silica substances (CSS) commenced 1 September 2024. Find out more by attending our information session at Pullman Cairns International on 16 October 2024.
This information session will bring you up to date with the stronger regulation of the processing of materials containing crystalline silica across all industries, particularly in relation to processing that is assessed as high risk.
These amendments include additional obligations on persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) who carry out work with a CSS.
In this FREE light lunch event, you will learn about:
- controlling CSS dust
- assessing the processing of CSS at your workplace
- control plans
- record keeping or risk assessments, controls and training
