  • An overall assessment of laterite stone quarries in terms of work, organization, tools, techniques, method of payment, productivity, skills, and an assessment of waste.

  • The nature and scale of environmental impacts of stone working based on selected quarries.

  • An assessment of national and local laws and policies which govern stone quarrying.
