About this site

This website contains a multitude of best practice ideas, a database of incident alerts, toolbox talks and the latest on the quarrying industry’s hot topics. The best practice ideas come from the Quarry Products Association’s annual Health & Safety Best Practice Awards Scheme.

Safequarry.com is one element of a package of resources that encourages the sharing of health and safety knowledge across the quarrying and quarry products industry. "Sharing Good Practice" is the new name for a series of hard copy guides that contain  examples of best practice. The first of these also containded a DVD with circa 63 video clips of innovations.
