House Call: Granite Artisans
January 24, 2025

Local Business and Community
At Champlain Medical, one of our top priorities is to engage with our local communities. Our physicians and staff are residents in the greater Burlington area. We understand the medical needs of our local businesses, communities, neighbors and friends. It is important to us to have great communication lines when workplace issues, injury, or occupational health initiatives arise.
As an example, this week we are going onsite to Granite Artisans to ensure that their workers are safe to utilize respirators and other protective gear in their demanding work.
Granite Artisans in Vermont are skilled craftsmen who specialize in quarrying, shaping, and carving granite, often creating stunning architectural elements, sculptures, and memorials. Their work is deeply rooted in Vermont’s history, as the state is renowned for its high-quality granite. These artisans use heavy machinery and precision tools to cut and refine granite, transforming raw stone into beautiful, functional pieces. Given the nature of their work, wearing protective and safety gear, such as goggles, gloves, and respiratory masks, is crucial to prevent injuries and safeguard against hazards like flying debris, sharp tools, and dust inhalation. Proper safety measures ensure the artisans can continue their intricate work while maintaining their health and well-being.
Champlain Medical is setting itself apart by engaging directly with our community and local businesses, and providing exceptional medical care for everyone.
