The latest Earth Resources Tripartite Safety Forum was held at WorkSafe in Melbourne back on 5th March 2020. The following information relating to incidents in quarries was presented.
Visits to quarries 1 July 2019 to 31 January 2020:
There were 144 visits of those 52 (36%) were specifically for dust. There were 79 notices issued of which 11 were for dust.
The notices were made up of:
71 Improvement Notices, 2 Voluntary Compliance notices,
2 Prohibition Notices and 4 Dangerous Goods Notices.
Quarries – incident and injury trends have gone down in the last 3 months. There is also a concern by Worksafe that reporting of incidents from quarries have also gone down.
