Minister for Workplace Safety, Ingrid Stitt, has made the Managing Exposure to Crystalline Silica: Engineered Stone Compliance Code which will come into effect on Tuesday 15 November 2022.
The code expands on the existing 2020 code, and has been updated to include duties and obligations introduced under Part 4.5 of the OHS Regulations to provide greater protection for Victorians workers.
Key updates include information on duties:
- that apply to an engineered stone process
- to prepare engineered stone control plans
- that apply to engineered stone licence holders; and
- that apply to manufacturers and suppliers.
