Quarrying & Mining Safety Products

Quarrying and mining are hazardous jobs. You’ll be using heavy machinery and working at height, as well as being exposed to dust and high noise levels. But with the right safety equipment, you can minimize the risks.

Start Safety carries a large range of protective equipment and workwear to keep you safe in a quarry or mine, as well as products for managing site traffic and securing machinery.

Safety equipment for quarries and mines

Here’s some of the equipment you can use to keep everyone safe in and around a mine or quarry. It’s important to choose workwear and equipment that meets the relevant standards, and to educate workers with full training and frequent reminders in the form of clear signage.

Personal protection

Helmets or hard hats are essential to protect you against falling debris, and our products can often be worn with ear defenders and eye protection. You may also need a respirator mask to filter out dust particles.

Safety boots protect your feet and provide support on challenging terrain, while protective coveralls can keep you safe from fire and electrical arc flashes. And insulated digging tools reduce the risk of electric shocks.

Site traffic management

Access barriers, bollards, and cones will guide traffic safely around your site, with bold colours and reflective surfaces for maximum visibility. (They can also keep curious members of the public away.)

Speed bumps and signage help to slow site traffic, while wheel chocks ensure that heavy vehicles remain stationary while loading or unloading.

Visibility

Hi-vis workwear is another must-have, enabling you to see other workers and be seen yourself. Vehicles on the site will also see the glow from your workwear even when you’re working the night shift. Mine workers can choose hard hats with brackets for mining lamps.
