This week, we published our latest story. Analysis suggests over 1,000 UK quartz stonemasons could have silicosis. The report calls for screening of the workforce to detect cases early to prevent silicosis progressing - and the need for lung transplants. inews.co.uk/news/workers...

As part of the HSE crackdown, a nationwide campaign of 1,000 firms has been launched to check workers aren't being exposed to deadly dust. In addition, the worktop industry and occupational hygienists from the @bohsworld.bsky.social have launched a kitemark scheme to show slabs were cut safely.

In 2025, The i Paper launched our campaign, Killer Kitchens, to push for better protections for workers. Our reporting has led to HSE's most significant intervention to date in the sector, with its first regulatory guidance warning firms water tools to stop dust are legally required.

More than 50 have been diagnosed since we revealed the first UK cases of the incurable lung disease from inhaling toxic dust. At least four have died, with the youngest, aged 23, among those referred for a lung transplant. Many are in their 20s and 30s. Their average age is 43.

My podcast interview with @privateeyenews.bsky.social ahead of next week's Paul Foot Award. Since 2024, I have been reporting for @theipaper.com on young UK workers grappling with silicosis caused by cutting engineered stone - or quartz - kitchen worktops.

Important public interest journalism from @joeduggan1.bsky.social at the i We @the-tuc.bsky.social are calling for a ban on the use of high-silica stone as young men working with it continue to die. They are all around my age (average age 34). Preventable deaths. Front page news. As it should be.
