The Fabrication Shop Auditor Program uses independent ISO 45001 auditors to verify that countertop and surface fabrication shops are following existing silica law — starting in California.

Researchers, physicians, and safety professionals: send us your data and your ideas.
Dear friends, colleagues, and neighbors,
Silicosis is not new. It has been named, studied, and written into law for more than a century. What is new is
how fast it is taking young, hard-working people in our trade. Behind every number on a public health dashboard is a fabricator, a family, and a shop. We carry that with us every day.
Across this industry, I hear the same two truths no matter who is in the room: our shops need licensing, and our workers need protection. Where we differ is how to get there. ISFA’s answer is simple to say and hard to do: follow the law that already exists, and prove it.
