One thought on “Thirteen workers on tunnelling projects in Sydney diagnosed with deadly silicosis”

  1. It’s concerning to hear about the diagnosis of silicosis among workers in Sydney’s tunnelling projects. Silicosis is a serious lung disease caused by inhaling fine silica dust, which is common in construction and tunnelling environments. It’s vital for employers to prioritize worker safety by implementing strict health and safety measures, ensuring proper ventilation, and providing protective equipment. Additionally, this highlights the need for industry-wide regulations and monitoring to prevent further cases. Workers’ health should always be a top priority, and we must advocate for better practices to protect those on the frontline.
