Quarry Workers and Respiratory Disease
Quarry and mine workers use diggers and heavy plant to excavate rock, clay sand and slate, and all these activities can give rise to high and frequent exposures to Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) resulting in silicosis and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Activities in the quarrying industry where exposures occur involve mining of high silica stone, sand pits, clay pits, blasting, breaking, crushing and screening. For stone workers, exposures result from work in fixed premises, work on high silica-content stone, cutting, grinding and chiselling.

What are the main causes of personal injury within the quarrying and mining sector?
Studies into quarrying and mining have shown that time after time, machinery safety, management systems, and the well being of employees was below standard.
Inadequate Personal Protective Equipment, and general site untidiness is often the cause of personal injury, and at times, death, with employees working in mines and quarries being three times more likely to be killed, than those working on construction sites, with 50% of all deaths involving vehicles on site. To make matters worse, often machinery does not have the correct safety guard, or any guard in place, making it easy for workers to reach in and make contact with moving parts, when guards actually require an engineering tool for access, to prevent untrained operatives from attempting a quick fix which could result in an injury.
Another cause of accidents and fatalities in quarries is slips, trips and falls. Employees working in quarries and mines are extremely vulnerable to suffering personal injury in the workplace, as a result of being squashed, crushed or losing fingers, toes and limbs as a result of coming into contact with rock crushers and conveyors.
