'Killing workers right now': CFMEU urges Bunnings, IKEA to stop selling engineered stone as ACT government eyes ban
www.abc.net.au
The ACT government has thrown its full support behind the push for a national ban on the use of engineered stone, and says it will implement its own prohibition if the federal government doesn't take action.

A Safe Work Australia report found engineered stone poses an ‘unacceptable risk to workers’ and should be banned.

The ACT government says its prepared to introduce its own ban if a national agreement isn’t reached.

The CFMEU is calling on retailers like Bunnings and IKEA to stop selling engineered stone products.

    Why does that necessitate banning it though?

    You should ban that practice and require it gets cut with ppe and procedures, such that it’s illegal to do it the way you described.

    Then if people still do it, it’s on them for being a dumbass.
