The National Dust Disease Taskforce is addressing accelerated silicosis, an incurable though preventable occupational lung disease occurring in workers as a result of exposure to silica dust.

Please review the draft guidelines and brief practice guide and provide feedback to [email protected] by Thursday 6 May 2021.
