As you may be aware, there have been a number of news items regarding engineered stone in recent days.

At the outset, Caesarstone® expresses its deepest sympathy for anyone who has contracted silicosis by simply doing their job. Silicosis is an avoidable occupational disease and we are absolutely committed to playing our role in its eradication.

Caesarstone® has been providing clear warnings to stonemasons and those who handle our products about the quartz content of engineered stone, the risk of silicosis and safe handling procedures since the 1990s. These predate Caesarstone’s entry to Australia. Since 2010, when Caesarstone® recognised the problem of silicosis, every slab has carried a prominent warning.

We have also focused heavily on fabricator education, and we have engaged closely with government through our participation in state-based taskforces in NSW, Queensland and Victoria and the National Dust Disease Taskforce.

As a significant stakeholder in the engineered stone market, Caesarstone’s efforts to improve industry safety are ongoing and have increased over the years. We are deeply engaged with this important issue and are committed to continuing to collaborate with all stakeholders to build a safer industry.
