Woodworking Network reports on a proposed California restriction affecting engineered-stone fabrication. Cal/OSHA published a discussion draft on September 16 concerning artificial stone with more than one percent crystalline silica. This is a proposal, not confirmation of an enacted ban or a newly effective compliance requirement.
Questions to discuss with your supplier
Has the proposal been adopted, revised or withdrawn? Which materials and fabrication operations would be covered? What do current official rules and qualified occupational-safety advisers require for your particular operation?
