    Stop breathing the dust while cutting it ya dummies, wear PPE, wet the surface down.

    Same risk exists for sandstone and other building materials. WEAR A MASK

      Aus put this rule in place because work places were not complying with the safety side.

      It might be more than that but I am willing to bet that the conditions that they work in are controlled by people who count every shilling. The pressure to keep the job is probably such that the workers are caught in a situation that needs the government to step in… But that’s communism!

        Most cases I’ve seen the company enforces ppe rules but when the boss is gone the people tear that stuff off. The boss is generally seen wearing it and forces employees to wear it but the boss is often elsewhere.

          If I had a dollar for every write up I’ve done just to make people wear safety glasses….
