SUMMARY:Assessing workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica dust: The current state of play | Online
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Lung Foundation Australia \nMore than half a million Australians are exposed to silica dust in their workplace. Do you know which workers are at risk and how\, when and why to monitor their lung health? \nRecent years have seen the resurgence of accelerated silicosis linked to the cutting\, grinding and polishing of engineered stone\, which often contains a high percentage (>90%) of crystalline silica. In a world-first decision\, effective from 1 July 2024 the use\, supply\, and manufacture of engineered stone products was banned across Australia. Whilst occupational and respiratory experts work to update clinical guidelines to reflect these landmark changes and progress in industry and evidence\, how can at-risk Australian workers be identified and assessed for silica-related disease? \nHear from our panel of clinical experts on the most up-to-date evidence and the future of assessing\, diagnosing and monitoring workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica dust. Submit your questions for our panel at registration\, or during the live session. Register now to view live or on-demand from the following day. \nAudience: GPs \nClick here for more information and to register.
