Sisebenzisa imali engaphezu kuka-$1 bhiliyoni njalo ngenyanga silungisa amakhaya ethu ngamakhishi amasha acwebezelayo nezindlu zokugezela.

Kodwa okungaziwa ukuthi intsha eningi eyagawula itshe elakhiwe ukwenza amabhentshi nezinto eziyize esizifisayo igwetshwe intambo.

Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi le mikhiqizo eyenziwe abantu iqukethe i-silica, futhi uthuli lwayo, uma luhogelwa, luyabulala.

Eqinisweni, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kubhekwa njengobuthi njenge-asbestos.

Ngokuhlanganyela60 Amaminithi,IminyakafuthiSydney Morning Heralduphenyo, u-Adele Ferguson wembula ulwazi olushaqisayo lokuthi nakuba abasebenzi bethi bebengazi ngezingozi, akunjalo abakhiqizi bale mikhiqizo.

Akekho ovela kuCaesarstone owayezilungiselele ukuxoxa ngezingozi zomkhiqizo wawo kunhlolokhono yekhamera. Kunalokho, baphendule imibuzo ebhaliwe futhi banikeza isitatimende60 Amaminithi.

I-SafeWork NSW kanye no-John Holland nabo banikeze izitatimende ezibhaliwe.

Amaphuzu abalulekile

• Umkhiqizo we-Caesarstone awudali umonakalo. Ukwehluleka kwabaqambi nabaqashi ukusebenzisa izinqubo zokwenziwa eziphephile nezinyathelo zokuphepha ezibekwe ngokuningiliziwe ezincwadini zokwenziwa zika-Caesarstone nezigunyazwe umthetho kubangele umonakalo omkhulu.
• Kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-1990s, i-Caesarstone Material Safety Data Sheet kanye nomhlahlandlela wokwenziwa uye waphatha izexwayiso mayelana nokuba khona kwe-quartz kanye nengcuphe ye-silicosis yokuhogela uthuli lwe-quartz.
• U-Caesarstone ubelokhu ethatha isinyathelo sokukhuthaza imboni yamatshe enobunjiniyela ephephile kusukela yaqala ukusebenza e-Australia, okuhlanganisa nemizamo emikhulu yokufundisa abakhi bezakhiwo nabakhi bamatshe mayelana nezingozi ze-silicosis kanye nokuphathwa kwemikhiqizo ephephile nomhlahlandlela wokuphepha.
• Ukuphikiswa kwalesi sihloko (ukushicilela ucwaningo lukaSolwazi uMordechai Kramer) kwakusekelwe esisekelweni sokuthi sasiqondiswe kuCaesarstone. Isihloko besinesihloko esithi “Caesarstone® Silicosis: Disease Resurgence among Artificial Stone”. Igama elisunguliwe elithi “Caesarstone® Silicosis” alizange libe khona (futhi namanje alikabi khona) ku-World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD).
• I-Caesarstone yigama elivame ukushintshwa netshe lobunjiniyela. Kodwa-ke, uCaesarstone ungumkhiqizi oyedwa kanye nomphakeli wamatshe anobunjiniyela. Kukhona ezinye eziningi ezisebenza kakhulu e-Australia nasemhlabeni wonke, okuhlanganisa i-Cosentino, i-Quantum Quartz, i-Smartstone, i-Project Stone, i-Stone Italiana ne-Laminex.

Isitatimende esivela kumkhulumeli kaJohn Holland:

Ukuphepha kwabantu bethu kanye nosonkontileka yinto yethu ehamba phambili.

Sithobela yonke imithetho efanele yezempilo nokuphepha emsebenzini ukuze siqinisekise ukugadwa komoya kuzo zonke izingosi zethu, kuhlanganisa neProjekthi ye-Rozelle Interchange, kusezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu.

I-Rozelle Interchange Project isebenzisa zonke izilawuli ezidingekayo ukuze kuqinisekiswe impilo nokuphepha kwabasebenzi bayo.

Izilawuli eziningi zobunjiniyela zikhona ukuze kuncishiswe ukuchayeka othulini kanye ne-silica ecwebezelayo ephefumulayo kuyo yonke iphrojekthi ye-Rozelle Interchange kanye ne-Western Harbor Tunnel Enabling Works.

Uhlelo lokungenisa komoya olungaphansi komhlaba olufakwe kuyo yonke iphrojekthi seluklanywe futhi lucwaningwa nguNjiniyela Wokungenisa umoya - ongaphezu kwezimfuneko ezisemthethweni zeProjekthi.

Zonke izitshalo ezihilelekile ekumbeni isihlabathi ebusweni bomhubhe ziqukethe amakhabethe ahlungiwe nge-HEPA, anengcindezi enhle futhi opharetha kudingeka bagqoke isivikelo sokuphefumula ngenkathi besebenza isitshalo.

Ukukalwa komoya wansuku zonke kanye nekhwalithi yomoya kwenziwa ngokuhambisana neProjekthi ethize yezempilo nezinhlelo zokuphepha zomsebenzi. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukucindezelwa kwamanzi kanye nama-ventilators amaningi othuli eduze nomthombo.

Ukuqapha ukuchayeka kwenziwa njengoba kucaciswe yimithetho yezempilo nokuphepha yasemsebenzini ye-NSW, futhi ngokuhambisana nezindinganiso zase-Australia ngomuntu ohlanzekile wasemsebenzini, obhaliswe ne-Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH).

Ukuqapha kwenziwa izikhathi eziningi ezifeza izimfuneko zomthetho kanye nezinqubo ezingcono kakhulu ezinqunywe yi-AIOH, ezinye izinhlaka zemboni kanye nochwepheshe bezimboni ezizimele.

Amasampuli okuqapha i-crystalline silica athunyelwa elabhorethri eqhutshwa yi-SafeWork NSW ukuze ahlaziywe.
