The AIOH submission made to SWA in response to their request for Consultation Regulation Impact Statement, Managing the Risks of Respirable Crystalline Silica at Work (2022).
This webinar provides a comprehensive update for occupational hygienists and OHS professionals on the Work Safe VIC Silica legislation.
Read the Case Finding Study commissioned by SafeWork NSW to investigate respirable crystalline silica exposure in the manufactured stone industry.
This presentation is designed to bring awareness and a reinvigorated conversation on measurement uncertainty in analysis, and how it can silently impact upon our professional work.
An overview of the lessons learned to support the management of silica dust on future demolition sites.
The Victorian Government has released the Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) and proposed regulations for the adoption of Safe Work Australia’s Workplace Exposure Limits (WEL) for airborne contaminants. Public comment is open from 19 January to 27 February 2026.

Webinar Recording Topic: Update on Engineered Stone and the Complexity of its Health Effects Presenters: Dino Pisaniello and Chandnee Ramkissoon Date Held: 30th March 2023 Member Price: $0.00 (discount applied at checkout) Non-Member Price: $38.50 (inc GST) This webinar will address the variability of health hazards associated with the processing of engineered stone. The materials science of conventional benchtop engineered stone, new low-silica engineered stone products, as well as other construction materials, will be covered. The complexity of pathogenesis and implications of recent research will be explored. Some challenges, misconceptions and future research directions will be discussed. Dino Pisaniello Dino Pisaniello is Adjunct Professor and recently retired Director of Adelaide Exposure Science and Health in the School of Public Health at the University of Adelaide. He is a Visiting Professor at the University of Indonesia, and is Chair of the College of Fellows of the Australian Institute of Health and Safety. Originally trained as a research chemist, Dino works at the intersection of occupational health, public health and emergency management. Dino has expertise in chemical hazard risk assessment and management, occupational and environmental epidemiology, intervention research, and health and safety education. Dino is a Past President of the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists and, from 2001 – 2005 was the Chairman of the Congress of Occupational Safety and Health Association Presidents. He is a past Australian Secretary of the International Commission on Occupational Health. From 1997-2021, he was the Chief Technical Advice Coordinator (HAZMAT) for the South Australian Emergency Agencies. He has published in excess of 250 scientific papers and technical reports. His publications address hazards in mining, manufacturing, defence, healthcare, agriculture, domestic and office environments, work and vision and climate change impacts on health. Chandnee R Ramkissoon Dr Chandnee Ramkissoon is an early-career researcher in Occupational Hygiene and Health at the Adelaide Exposure Science and Health unit in the School of Public Health at the University of Adelaide. In recent years, she has led and managed dust characterisation projects to investigate the link between particle chemistry and occupational lung disease in the manufacturing industry. She has developed an advancing researcher profile in materials science and analytical techniques to relate exposure science to health outcomes. Chandnee has a foundation in Occupational Hygiene and has field experience conducting workplace exposure assessments for respiratory hazards. She is an active member of the Australia Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH) and an Executive Member of the SA/NT Branch of the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ).
