Crystalline Silica Safety Awareness

Course Overview: This awareness training course is to assist Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) to provide training to workers about the risks of crystalline silica.
From 1 September 2024 PCBUs must provide crystalline silica training to workers if:
• they are involved in processing of a crystalline silica substance (CSS) that is high risk; or
• they are at risk of exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) because of the processing of crystalline silica substance that is high risk.
If workers are not undertaking high risk processing, PCBUs must still provide appropriate information, instruction, training or supervision to anyone who may be exposed to RCS at the workplace.
