Health and safety is the top priority for MPA Scotland members.
With big machinery and rugged site conditions, mineral products companies have good reason to place such a huge emphasis on the health, safety and wellbeing of its workforce and the contractors that are engaged to support the industry.
That care also extends to local communities and those with whom the industry shares the road network.
Recent decades have seen the industry make huge improvements, and today Britain is widely regarded as a global leader in health and safety, both in terms of good safety practice and performance.
However, companies in the sector are not complacent and strive to continually improve working practices and instil a safety culture among employees.
