HSA to launch clampdown on quarry safety
23/05/2006 - 17:11:05The Health and Safety Authority says it is to launch a clampdown on workplace safety in quarries.
This follows two deaths in the sector this year - the second at a quarry near Mullingar at the weekend when a 23 year old man was killed when he was caught in a conveyor during maintenance.
HSA chief executive Tom Beegan is warning that quarries which fail to implement health and safety law face possible closure.
