What is a ‘dust disease’?
There are many occupations and industries where your work might reasonably expose you to dust. While construction, demolition, mining, and masonry are most common, you might even have encountered asbestos dust or other dangerous dust working in retail, farming, transport, emergency services, and more.
When exposure to these dusts causes a disease of the lungs, you are suffering from what NSW law calls a ‘dust disease’, such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and silicosis.
The Workers’ Compensation (Dust Diseases) Act 1942 NSW covers the following dust diseases:
