WorkSafe ACT_Notification of permitted work with Legacy Engineered Stone

In the ACT from 1 November 2024 this form must be completed by a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) and sent to WorkSafe ACT before carrying out, or directing or allowing a worker to carry out, work that involves processing of legacy engineered stone.

Legacy engineered stone includes any engineered stone benchtop, panel, or slab that is already installed and, for the purposes of disposal, includes engineered stone stocks that were not installed prior to the prohibition.

Processing, in relation to legacy engineered stone, means using a power tool or other mechanical plant (e.g. crusher) to crush, cut grind, trim, sand, abrasive polish or drill the stone, or any other activity involving engineered stone that produces airborne crystalline silica.

**  If work with legacy engineered stone will be carried out in multiple states and/or territories, you must submit a notification to each Commonwealth, state and/or territory WHS regulator in relation to the work to be carried out in that jurisdiction. Refer to the relevant WHS regulator to ensure you are using the correct notification form.
