A marginal / insignificant number of engineered stone PCBUs are expected to choose to cease trading rather than move to engineered stone with < 40 % crystalline silica ( and natural stone ) or alternative products , because they cannot adapt to changes in the market . |

B . 7.4 Decision tree outcomes : Option 3
Decision tree outcomes for other industry PCBUs were consistent across all three options and are described in Table 23 . Decision tree outcomes for workers are consistent for both Option 1 and Option 3 and are described in Table 24 . Outcomes for engineered stone PCBUs under this option are described in Table 26 , below .

Decision
Continue operating by switching to alternative products
|
Impact
Primarily purchase new equipment to switch nonstone product ( e . g . laminate )
