From 1 July 2024, a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) must notify the WorkSafe Commissioner of their intention to carry out any work involving the processing of legacy engineered stone in Western Australia before the work begins. This requirement includes when the PCBU directs or allows a worker to carry out the same work.

Providing the notification

The PCBU must submit the Notification form for permitted work with legacy engineered stone:

• before any processing work of legacy engineered stone starts
• every 12 months from the date of the previous notification if the PCBU intends to continue to work with legacy engineered stone
• whenever there is a change to information provided in the previous notification.

If the PCBU unknowingly carries out processing work with legacy engineered stone, they must notify the WorkSafe Commissioner as soon as the PCBU becomes aware of the work.

A PCBU does not need to provide notification or re-notification if they stop carrying out processing work with legacy engineered stone.

The notification forms must be emailed to esforms@demirs.wa.gov.au.

WorkSafe will provide an automated response to acknowledge submitted notification forms.
