Don't forget that construction dust can seriously damage health.
Breathing in dusts at work can cause lung cancer, silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma.
Employers: Have you fully assessed the risk to your workers?
Silica is a natural substance found in most stones, rocks, sand and clay. Silicosis is one of the life changing lung diseases caused by exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) or silica dust. Learn more about the risks and how to prevent exposure: https://t.co/ybg5tex4vq

#EMPLOYERS:
Is your business a place where workers can use their skills to decide how they do their work?
Do they have a say in decisions that are made concerning their jobs?
Do you involve workers when changes in working methods or equipment are required?
