About this listen

A cheaper alternative to marble and granite, engineered stone is an increasingly popular choice for Australians looking to renovate their kitchens and bathrooms. Once it's installed, it poses no risk to your health. But the workers who manufacture the stuff on the factory floor are getting sick. Silicosis, a deadly dust disease, is cutting short the lives of stonemasons. In this episode: workers and lawyers unite to demand change from employers and legislators.
