The next weekly gathering hosted by the Thunder Bay & District Injured Workers Support Group is on Tuesday October 27 at 10 AM.
Our guest will be Kevin Hedges, an occupational hygienist at OHCOW, speaking on
Engineered stone / artificial stone – an unacceptable hazard.
Two recent papers speak to the growing concerns:
- Hoy R, 2025, The Rapid Rise of Silicosis in Victoria, Australia Associated with Artificial Stone Countertop Industry Work
- Abdelsayad A, 2026, Silicosis Among Engineered Stone Workers in Ontario, Canada: A Case Series of 20 Patients
