Residents of John Teye Abuom in Ofankor are in danger of losing more lives as the business of stone quarrying activities increases by the day and health risks are ignored. Two lives have been lost so far a result of stone quarrying activities in the area. The young and old, men and women are all involved in the stone quarrying business at John Teye Abuom.Houses situated on these stony mountains are threatened by the least downpour as cracks in the stone quarry easily fall off. The most dangerous thing in this area is the path leading to the stone quarry which serves as footpath for residents.I almost fell into a pit whiles trying to use a path where two people have already lost their lives as a result of the gaping holes. Residents are worried; they might be victims of this worrying trend. For Teye, a resident and stone quarry middleman, his children are safe because he makes enough to take care of them.Children, who crack stones to help their parents take care of their school fees, going through this narrow and dangerous path to work for a maximum of five Ghana cedis a day. They do not have protective gears to protect them from harm when chipping the stones.I was hit in the eye by a chip of a rock as I got closer to try my hands on the vocation the children seem to have mastered.But for these kids, this is a normal phenomenon as long as their five Ghana cedis is guaranteed.Teye, the owner of these rocks where the children work see nothing wrong with what the children do in this area. Though the pit has claimed two lives recently, the workers are unperturbed by the dangers surrounding them.There is the need for authorities concerned to step up their monitoring activities to ensure that looming dangers are tackled to save lives and properties; and of course clamp down on child labour.
