SAFETY & HEALTH IN THE STONE CRUSHING INDUSTRY -- MANUAL AVAILABLE
This safety manual specifically addresses situations and working conditions in developing countries. It aims at giving stone crushing unit owners, trade unions, NGO's and government agencies a guideline to improve working conditions and a standard against which stone crushing sites can be audited and evaluated.
