There are many small companies that provide and install quality marble, granite and other stone finishes in high specification houses and flats. There are various hazards  associated with this work, some are easily recognised, while others are less obvious such as long term breathing in of stone dust.

To help the small businesses that carryout this type of work, HSE has arranged a free workshop in an operational factory in North London.
