The company operates a site specific SHE induction system which covers all personnel who are engaged in any work activity on site however small. This ensures that they fully understand their duties and responsibilities towards health and safety whilst working on our premises. 

The company’s key message that “Nothing you do at work today is more important than going home safe and well to your family, at the end of each working day” is the cornerstone of our health and safety philosophy.

Over a number of years we have achieved success at the annual MPA Best Practice Awards; in 2009 we were awarded the Sir Frank Davies Trophy for overall excellence in the SME category, followed by success in 2010 and 2011 for new innovations in safety improvements, conforming isolators and kiln safety improvements.
