Welcome to The Quarry Health and Safety Management System Developed for the UK quarrying industry by the Camborne School of Mines, with the support of the Minerals Industry Research Organisation, the Health and Safety Executive and WBB Minerals Ltd.

Key Principles:  A management system is not an ‘add on’ – it must build upon and improve the way things are really done in the organisation  A management system is not simply about procedures – it must reinforce a positive culture of commitment, responsibility, involvement and continuous improvement
