Quarry and Aggregate Production Operations Safety

Focuses on the specific hazards of quarrying and aggregate production, an industry that supplies construction across Africa yet often operates with limited formal safety systems. Participants learn to manage face stability, mobile plant, crushing circuits and dust in dimension stone, sand and aggregate operations. The programme is grounded in the realities of small and medium quarries serving regional building markets.
