At GoSource, we are committed to supporting safe and responsible use of our materials. While GoSource does not fabricate or install stone or quartz products, we recognize that these processes can involve health and safety risks. This page provides key information and resources to promote safe practices and compliance with applicable workplace safety standards.
Fabrication and installation of quartz and other stone materials can generate respirable crystalline silica (SiO₂) — fine dust particles small enough to enter deep into the lungs. Prolonged exposure to respirable silica without proper controls may cause serious or fatal illnesses, including silicosis, lung cancer, and other respiratory diseases.
GoSource does not perform fabrication or installation.
Contractors, fabricators, and installers are solely responsible for implementing appropriate safety and engineering controls to minimize exposure to silica dust. This includes:
Proper adherence to these safety measures helps protect workers, maintain regulatory compliance, and promote a healthy, sustainable workplace.
