[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 9014517, member: 54866"] I used to live opposite a guy who worked in one of the quarries. An accident in one is complex because it's got so many moving parts and dangers. I don't think they ordinarily let their own machine operators out of the cabin. He told me that on his site if you want to get out for a pee you have to radio for a guy and he comes and picks you up in a Discovery 4x4 to take you back to the main office. As the truck makes it's way around the site it has to radio nearby machine operators so they completely stop to allow him to pass by. They obviously don't want truck drivers or contractors or anyone else wondering around the site on foot either. He explained that just walking near the piles of material, processed or unprocessed would get you a rollicking because they are loose and unstable, let alone the machinery or anything else. The nature of the quarry also made any access by the emergency services very problematic. [/QUOTE]
