Queensland invests nearly $600,000 to improve office returns for early-stage dust lung diseases (www.hcamag.com)

The Queensland government is investing almost $600,000 to research on improving return-to-work processes for workers who have been diagnosed with early-stage dust lung diseases.

In a mining context, there are ways for workers to stay at the mine and continue on in more administrative positions – but there are ways of doing this well and not so well.

For the engineered stone industry, where the businesses are much smaller, it is much harder as there are often no jobs out of the dust that people can move into.
