Used extensively in materials handling to resist wear within high flow areas.

Articulated Dump Truck

Rock is extracted from the ground in the quarrying process to produce aggregate.

Aggregate is screened into the sizes required for immediate use, or for further processing within the quarrying production line.

The WRAP Aggregates Programme, which is funded by DEFRA
The WRAP Aggregates Programme, which is funded by DEFRA from the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, was launched in 2002. Its aims are to promote sustainable aggregates use by reducing the demand for primary aggregates through encouraging greater use of recycled and secondary aggregates. WRAP is also funded by the Scottish Executive for an Aggregates Programme in Scotland. The Aggregates Programme is addressing the barriers to greater use of these materials: Lack of effective reprocessing infrastructure to supply high quality products to local markets. Need for robust and readily available information to assist those involved in the specification, procurement, use and supply of recycled and secondary aggregates. Low end-user confidence and awareness of the cost effectiveness and performance specifications of recycled and secondary aggregates. Barriers in the supply chain, both real and perceived, that arise through legislation and regulations. Need for more uses for recycled, and particularly secondary, materials.

Any of various flammable mixtures of hydrocarbons and other substances
Any of various flammable mixtures of hydrocarbons and other substances, occurring naturally or obtained by distillation from coal or petroleum, that are a component of asphalt and tar and are used for surfacing roads and for waterproofing.

Screened out fine material from the secondary crusher.
Can also be a thin sheet of concrete, crushed rock or rubble placeed on a sandy or muddy surface to give a stable work surface when preparing for a concrete pour or for other work. Can also be shielding placed around an area where arc welding is in progress to avoid the possibility of passers-by receiving welding flashes.

When structures made of concrete are to be demolished, concrete recycling is an increasingly common method of disposing of the rubble.
When structures made of concrete are to be demolished, concrete recycling is an increasingly common method of disposing of the rubble. Concrete debris was once routinely shipped to landfills for disposal, but recycling has a number of benefits that have made it a more attractive option in this age of greater environmental awareness, more environmental laws, and the desire to keep construction costs down. Concrete aggregate collected from demolition sites is put through a crushing machine, often along with asphalt, bricks, dirt, and rocks. Crushing facilities accept only uncontaminated concrete, which must be free of trash, wood, paper and other such materials. Metals such as rebar are accepted, since they can be removed with magnets and other sorting devices and melted down for recycling elsewhere. The remaining aggregate chunks are sorted by size. Larger chunks may go through the crusher again. Smaller pieces of concrete are used as gravel for new construction projects. Sub-base gravel is laid down as the lowest layer in a road, with fresh concrete or asphalt poured over it. Crushed recycled concrete can also be used as the dry aggregate for brand new concrete if it is free of contaminants. There are a variety of benefits in recycling concrete rather than dumping it or burying it in a landfill. Keeping concrete debris out of landfills saves space there. Using recycled material as gravel reduces the need for gravel mining. There are also economic benefits. Recycled concrete is a construction material that the community does not need to pay for; those who generated the concrete waste pay a fee to have it recycled.

Job Safety Assessment
An assessment of the risks and hazards that may be encountered while performing a particular task or operation and how best to deal with those risks or hazards. The end result is often shown as a graph of the level of risk. These assessments also quite often result in the issuing of SWMS's.
