Quarries are surface mines where construction stone is exploatation and processed. Ensuring worker safety in quarries and preventing injuries are crucial for creating a safe working environment and maintaining a productive workplace. In this paper, the critical role and necessity of implementing preventive measures in the production and processing of technical stone in quarries are emphasized to enhance occupational safety measures. The identification of hazards and an accurate assessment of safety risks are fundamental to the success of any safety program. Based on identified potential hazards and risks, it is essential to define all necessary technical and organizational preventive measures. A key component in injury prevention and the mitigation of occupational illnesses is the education and training of workers to ensure safe and healthy work practices. Workers must be fully informed about all hazards and risks associated with their assigned tasks, as well as any potential dangers that may arise during movement and presence within the quarry. If training is limited to formal classroom instruction, workers may lack the ability to recognize all hazards and risks present in the quarry, both at their specific workplaces and within the broader operational environment.
