Respirable Crystalline Silica powder has always been the subject of attention by ceramic companies actively involved in protecting the health and safety of their workers.
The well-established practice of sharing Memorandums of Understanding between Confindustria Ceramica, the Emilia Romagna Region, other supply chain associations and trade unions has enabled companies in the ceramic sector to identify and implement effective technical, organizational and procedural measures to contain dustiness in production settings.
The adoption of the prevention measures identified in the Memoranda of Understanding and the proper implementation of the guidance developed within the NEPSI (European Network on Silica) has led to healthy work environments and a now consistent absence of reports of occupational diseases attributable to the use of "crystalline silica."
