Quarry workers tribute to dad triumphs in minerals-sector awards
A quarry worker who spent the last years of his life raising awareness of respiratory health and the dangers of dust has posthumously helped an aggregates company win a prestigious industry safety award.
The reflections of Maurice Lambert, who died last year at the age of 80 from respiratory disease, featured in a poignant health and safety video produced by his sons Andrew and Mick, both employees of Lafarge Aggregates & Concrete UK at Dry Rigg Quarry in North Yorkshire.
Said Mick, who is site manager at Dry Rigg: “Dad thought it would send a strong message to the current workforce if they could understand the impact of living with silicosis and the effect this had on his lifestyle.”
