Australia has made a world-first decision to ban engineered stone after almost a decade of pleading from campaigners calling for action.
Former stonemason Kyle Goodwin was first diagnosed with silicosis in 2018, and tells us how he feels about the decision.
We did it!
Federal, state and territory WHS Ministers just voted to ban engineered stone from 1 July 2024.
This has happened because our union turned out. We set a date to ban it on our sites, rallied, and campaigned to the public outside big retail stores. #StopThisKillerStone
