Why are silica courses important for Willunga workers and residents?
Silica is one of the most abundant compounds on Earth and is found in a wide range of commonly used natural and artificial building and construction products, like sand, metal and artificial stone benchtops.
Silica is toxic and potentially fatal to humans when inhaled or ingested. In 2011, the Australian Cancer Council estimated that approximately 587,000 Australian workers had been exposed to silica dust. It is predicted around 5758 of these workers will develop lung cancer due to silica exposure.
Our silica specialists at Asbestos and Silica Awareness have developed a silica awareness online course. It is 100% online and on-demand, so students can move through the course at their own pace, ensuring they become confident silica awareness experts.
