The head of a health and safety organisation will be on the Island this week discussing the potential dangers of a common building material.
Graham Parker, the president elect of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, will give a talk at the Isle of Man Construction Federation offices in Onchan on Thursday.
Starting at 1.30pm the event will focus on silica as part of the body's campaign about cancer - 'No Time To Lose'.
