Something to consider when opposing;

Transport accounts for 40% of all accidents in quarries and 60% of all deaths. It has been a priority for HSE for many years but until the industry addresses safe vehicle, safe workplace, competent driver and supervision it will not improve. None of the things set out below are complicated and there are some basic things that can be done straight away which will have a significant improvement in the figures.

THIS COMES STRAIGHT FROM THE HEALTH AND SAFETY EXEXUCTIVE WEBSITE.

Anyone opposing this - consider contacting the Health and Safety Exec website, as I have, before it is too late.
