Statement from Victorian Minister for Finance Robin Scott

“Worksafe is conducting a compliance blitz to ensure safe work practices, and boosting resources
education and awareness of the dangers of silicosis.”
“We’ve also called for the urgent establishment of a national registry and a review of the current
standards – because this affects workers across the country and the Federal Government needs to
take immediate, meaningful action.”
“Every worker deserves to come home safe and well each day from work, and we’ll continue
working to protect Victorians from this devastating disease.”
