Respirable Crystalline Silica workshop – Wellington
About
In December 2024, Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Brooke van Velden released a discussion document entitled Work with engineered stone and materials containing crystalline silica. MinEx will host a one-day workshop in Wellington on 5 March 2025 which will address the hazards associated with worker exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS), what needs to change in New Zealand to address these hazards, and controls for reducing worker exposure. The workshop will also discuss the Government discussion document and submission points for the consultation, which closes on 18 March.
The workshop offers 8 hours of unrestricted CPD and will be of benefit to:
- health and safety professionals
- mining, quarrying and tunnelling managers and supervisors
- construction industry representatives
- civil construction representatives
- occupational hygienists
- suppliers of PPE and exposure monitoring
- anyone else with an interest in managing worker health, particularly in relation to air quality.
Speakers include occupational hygienists, medical practitioners, researchers and suppliers of protective equipment.
Morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea will be provided.
