START LEARNING
With the Quarries Health and Safety Learning Modules
The WorkSafe New Zealand Extractives Team initiated a mobile plant project in 2020 to address the contributing factors that led to mobile plant being the leading notifiable category of incidents reported to WorkSafe. The aim of the modules is to provide Health and Safety learning modules specifically for mobile plant in the quarry’s work environment based on universal design for learning. This provides learning that is digestible, byte sized chunks that is accessible for workers.
