Description

Tragedy at the Quarry, introduces students to common hazards, injuries and fatalities in the gravel crushing industry and how to mitigate those risks, with a significant focus on the importance of equipment guarding and training.

This course centres on the case study of a real-life fatality that serves as a tragic reminder of the severity of impact when something goes wrong in this kind of industry.

You will see filmed interviews with the mother of a 15-year-old worker killed on an Alberta gravel crushing site as well as the owner of the company at which the fatality occurred.

Tragedy at the Quarry is as a free training resource for students across Alberta.

Developed by our new SME, Sara Rooseboom from Safety in Schools.
