Description:
The Quarries Regulations 1999 are intended to protect the health and safety of people working at a quarry and others who may be affected by quarrying activities. They apply to both employees and the self employed.
They are also intended to safeguard people not working at the quarry (eg those living, passing or working nearby, or visiting, for example to buy materials.

It is important to remember that a legal duty under one of these regulations can not be passed on to someone else by means of a contract. For example an operator who appoints a contractor as explosives supervisor still has the ultimate legal responsibility under regulation 25 to ensure that explosives work is carried out safely.

Other health and safety legislation also applies to quarry work. These Regulations do not relieve anyone of their duties under such legislation.
