From 1 July 2024, it is illegal for businesses to install, produce or manufacture engineered stone slabs, benchtops, and panels across Queensland workplaces. Exemptions can be sought for repairs, removal and minor modifications to existing installed products. Exemptions can be permitted under a national framework and subject to notification to workplace health and safety regulators.
Businesses intending to undertake work with previously installed engineered stone will need to notify the agency.
