NSW tunnellers diagnosed with Silicosis

The attached post is a must read for all involved in the utilities industry.

Cut and Clean operates within the utilities industry, where the levels of Silica in concrete and asphalt can vary. Our dedicated operators undergo extensive training to understand the risks associated with exposure to Silica dust. Through the use of water suppression and vacuum systems, we significantly minimize this risk by containing and managing the slurry generated during cutting operations. The waste is then carefully handled at our depot for appropriate treatment.

We prioritize the safety and well-being of our operators by conducting regular health monitoring assessments and respirable tests to monitor their exposure to Crystalline Silica. This proactive approach ensures a safe working environment for all team members.

For more details on our health screening procedures and the environmentally responsible recycling of slurry waste, please visit the Cut and Clean website.
