Tustin et al. described cases of silicosis among workers at a US workplace that manufactures and fabricates engineered stone (also known as artificial stone or quartz conglomerate) countertops. 1 These cases were identified through Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)-mandated medical surveillance, after an investigation found that workers at this plant were exposed to respirable crystalline silica above the OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL). Self-reported silica exposures and workplace protections among engineered stone fabrication workers in California Findings were based on worker self-report; workers may have limited recall of past work practices and may also have been hesitant to report perceived workplace safety issues to Cal/OSHA inspectors.[Extracted from the article]Copyright of American Journal of Industrial Medicine is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
