No costs to retrain workers have been assumed for engineered stone PCBUs that move into natural stone or increase the proportion of their business activity with natural stone , given most engineered stone PCBUs work with natural stone already . The main difference between working with engineered stone and natural stone is a higher level of skill to handle more brittle natural stone slabs ).
No costs to retrain workers to work with alternative products have been assumed for engineered stone PCBUs that move into alternative products or increase the proportion of their business activity with alternative products . The skills of existing workers may be transferable .
There will be no lost revenue over the period of transition to natural stone or alternative products or business closure . It has been assumed that the implementation period will allow engineered stone PCBUs to fulfil their existing orders , to offload stocks of engineered stone and to build up their business in natural stone , alternative products or alternative business ventures .
B . 8.3 Engineered stone and other industry PCBU costs
The following table presents the key assumptions and calculations used to estimate the direct and indirect costs identified for engineered stone PCBUs and other industry PCBUs for each prohibition option .
