A work health and safety (WHS) regulator can exempt a type of engineered stone from the ban.

Once a type of engineered stone is exempted, any person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) can work with that type of engineered stone so long as they meet any conditions imposed on the exemption.

For example, exemption conditions could include:

• use of particular control measures for the manufacture, supply, processing or installation of an exempt engineered stone product, and/or
• requirements to undertake air monitoring and to monitor the health of workers who may be exposed to RCS at work.
