Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the crucial topic of safety in stone quarrying, a field that has long presented significant dangers to workers. The author, drawing upon years of personal investigation and data from national statistics, highlights the prevalent hazards faced by quarry workers, including accidents caused by explosives, falling rock, and faulty equipment. The book's analysis of accidents is placed within a broader context of industrial safety practices in the early 20th century, a time when workplace accidents were commonplace and regulations were often lax. The author emphasizes the importance of both preventative measures by operators and increased vigilance by employees in minimizing accidents. Beyond highlighting specific dangers, the book emphasizes the need for systematic inspections of equipment, the importance of proper procedures for handling explosives, and the need for safer methods of hoisting and transportation of materials. This insightful examination of the challenges and solutions related to quarry safety offers a historical perspective on the evolving importance of workplace safety in the industrial age.
