Our safety record is second to none. In an industry in which a moment’s carelessness or lack of training can have disastrous consequences, we take safety and training extremely seriously.
How do we do this?
- Staff are given extensive training tailored to each person’s specific role
- Senior managers are required to attend site health and safety meetings alongside our quarry based workforce
- An intense focus is placed on identifying and resolving workplace hazards before they cause injury
Our commitment to safety is reflected in the innovative Take5 initiative, pioneered by Winstone Aggregates and now utilised nationwide by many other industries.
Take5 – What is it and how does it work?
Take5 is a behavioural safety check that each employee must consider before starting a job:
- Stop – before you proceed
- Think – about what you are doing
- Identify – any hazards
- Plan – the job
- Do it safely – when you commence work
