The guidance provides information for PCBUs about:

• The scope of the ban
• Permitted work for repair, removal, minor modification and disposal of legacy engineered stone.
  
• Notification of work with legacy engineered stone.
  
• Exemptions from the prohibition.
  
• Their duties under the national notification framework to notify the WHS regulator before carrying out any permitted work with legacy engineered stone benchtops, panels and slabs
• Their duties to ensure controlled processing of sintered stone, porcelain products and, where permitted, engineered stone, and
• The national exemption framework, including the process and requirements for seeking an exemption from the ban for a type of engineered stone where there is compelling evidence that the stone can be worked with safely.

Safe Work Australia has also updated the existing National Exemption Framework – Guide for applicants for exemptions and National guide for working with crystalline silica and crystalline silica containing products to reference the engineered stone ban.
