I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) silicosis is an incurable form of lung disease caused by exposure to toxic dust by breathing in unsafe levels of silica dust,

(ii) diseases due to silica exposure are serious and potentially lethal but totally preventable with the usage of correct safety provisions, and

(iii) there is growing concern about new cases of silicosis; and

(b) calls on the Federal Government to:

(i) review industry standards, and

(ii) create a national dust disease register for workers, and more awareness in training institutions and workplaces.
