Ah, I missed what you were getting at before. Agreed, can't see why engineered stone should be a particular hazard if proper safety measures are being taken. Best guess is that they weren't, and this ban is simply the chosen way to stop people being harmed by the work. Just seems more performative than useful.

I'll admit I am concerned they've set a precedent that's not practical that will now flow onto many other materials. But I'm open to the idea I've misunderstood some of the reasoning behind the decision.
