Çimstone prioritizes the health and longevity of the fabrication teams working with our material. Engineered stone contains crystalline silica. Fabricators must implement and enforce strict industrial hygiene protocols to mitigate airborne particulate exposure.
To neutralize dust generation, the use of water-injected cutting, grinding, and polishing machinery is an absolute requirement.
Fabrication facilities must be equipped with industrial-capacity ventilation, water-wall systems, and airborne filtration units.
Floor personnel must utilize appropriate P3-rated particulate respirator masks, alongside safety goggles, steel-toe footwear, and hearing protection.
Prolonged inhalation of dry silica dust causes severe damage to lungs. Workers must not eat, drink, or smoke in the area (P270), and must wash thoroughly after processing (P264).
