Mo's Stonex calls for use of 0% silica worktops after new HSE guidance
In May 2026, the Health and Safety Executive published its first COSHH guidance sheet specifically addressing engineered stone, prohibiting dry cutting and promoting safety controls.
The guidance recommends choosing stones with minimal crystalline silica, using water suppression, controlling mist, providing respiratory equipment, and conducting health monitoring.
Mo's Stonex supports using worktops with 0% crystalline silica to improve worker safety, following the new HSE guidance.
Mo Altay, director of Mo's Stonex, highlighted the ELORĀ surface collection with 0% crystalline silica as a material choice that prioritizes dust control and safety.
