The silica management audit involves inspections to scrutinise the systems that monitor air quality and prevent silica exposure for workers. This includes engineering controls, water suppression, ventilation and extraction systems to remove dust, and work, health and safety (WHS) policies and procedures.

Audits will continue until the end of June this year.

Under the Work Health and Safety Act, SafeWork NSW can issue improvement and prohibition notices where there is non-compliance.

A full investigation may also take place which could lead to prosecution where the evidence supports a breach to the criminal standard.
