The Mining and Quarrying Occupational Health and Safety Committee (MAQOHSC) is a tripartite body established under the SA Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act, 1986.
Our mandate is to promote occupational health and safety and prevent injury and disease within the mining and quarrying industry.
A recent report card on dust control at South Australian quarries suggests some operators continue to work at high risk of exposure to toxic dust – often without appropriate engineering controls or basic respiratory protection.
There are many web-based sources available to help you achieve a safer work place. A summary of some of the leading resources follows.
