Silicosis is a global disease which has affected the health of Australian workers and the profitability of Australian companies. Recently, major international mining houses have begun to acknowledge their wider responsibilities, and publish statements on Sustainable Mining. However, poor practices in developing countries continue to shift the costs of production onto labour, thereby under-cutting producers who provide safer working environments. This project promises greater understanding of risk assessment and the processes of compensating workplace injuries. In doing so, it will contribute to the work of social movements supporting miners in their struggles for justice.

矽肺是一种全球性疾病，已经影响了澳大利亚工人的健康和澳大利亚公司的盈利能力。最近，主要的国际矿业公司开始认识到他们更广泛的责任，并发表关于可持续采矿的声明。然而，发展中国家的不良做法继续将生产成本转嫁到劳动力身上，从而降低了提供更安全工作环境的生产者的成本。该项目承诺更好地了解风险评估和工伤赔偿程序。这样做将有助于支持矿工争取正义的社会运动的工作。
