Screen Queensland engineered-stone exposure against silicosis compensation
MaintainedLast reviewed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Record the product, the work and the dates, and set silicosis beside schedule 2 and the latent-onset pages. Do not treat the model ban as the Queensland regulation.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer confirms the Queensland regulation before calling the work prohibited.
- Silicosis is a named dust-related condition. That is separate from the ban.
- Do not use a step from the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 for the dust injury.
- Do not mark re-installation as allowed. It stays with the regulator.
Rules that apply
The document starts from the task name. Change it if this piece of work is different.
The work product
Forum. Queensland silicosis compensation, beside the national engineered-stone ban
Produce. A fact sheet separating the compensation path from the unopened Queensland ban text.
Have ready. Product and work; Dates; Diagnosis; Employment.
Example of the limit. Illustrative example: The diagnosis is silicosis after benchtop work in Queensland in 2025. The tool marks silicosis as a named dust-related condition and marks the Queensland ban text as not opened. The lawyer confirms the regulation and the compensation path separately.
Stop and hand it back when
- The model regulation is quoted as the Queensland regulation.
- The tool decides that an offence was committed.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Record the product, the work and the dates, and set silicosis beside schedule 2 and the latent-onset pages. Do not treat the model ban as the Queensland regulation. |
| Lawyer | Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output. |
Checklist
- Schedule 2 names silicosis as a dust-related condition, and also has the lung, pleura or peritoneum catch-all.
- The WorkCover latent-onset page deals with pneumoconiosis by ILO score and age, and with a terminal condition under the section 128B path.
- Section 6(3)(b) of the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 still takes a dust-related condition outside that Act.
- The Safe Work Australia page describes the ban from 1 July 2024 and says implementation may vary. The Queensland regulation was not opened.

The national definition requires at least 1 per cent crystalline silica by weight, made by combining natural stone with other constituents such as water, resins or pigments, and hardening. The ban is limited to benchtops, panels and slabs.
Legacy processing for removal, repair, minor modification or disposal must be notified and controlled on the national page. Confirm whether Queensland follows that notification rule.
