CONSTRUCTION DUST
The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Regulations 1st October 2012 now also targets to reduce the
risks associated with silica, wood and gypsum dusts.
Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this
because of the dust that they breathe: silica dust is not just a
nuisance; it is a real risk to your lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things
like sand, sandstone and granite. It is also commonly found in
many construction materials such as concrete and mortar. The

crystalline silica can lead to the development of:
