Urban Cranes, a Perth-based construction company specialising in tilt-up and precast operations, identified respirable crystalline silica (RCS) as a significant health and safety risk within their day-to-day activities.
Tasks such as cutting, grinding, drilling, and handling concrete materials can generate hazardous silica dust, creating serious long-term health risks including silicosis and other respiratory diseases.
With increasing regulatory focus on silica compliance under WA WHS legislation, the business recognised the importance of proactive training, risk management, and workforce awareness.
Urban Cranes engaged High Risk Training Academy Pty Ltd (RTO #46215) to deliver the WorkSafe-approved CPCSIL3001 Silica Awareness Training to their workforce as part of their commitment to safety and compliance.

The training covered key WHS responsibilities relating to crystalline silica exposure, including:
Workers were trained using real-world examples from their own operational environment to ensure relevance and immediate application on site.
