Stone
The stone industry is as old as industry itself. Quarrying has become more efficient with the adoption of heavy machinery. While stoneworking has seen significant advances in recent decades with the introduction of highly accurate stone cutting and stone polishing machinery. However, the stone industry is still one of the most dangerous and this is predominantly down to the sheer weight of the materials being worked.
