Health and safety
Policy statement

Aggregate Industries is committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety by devoting the human and capital resources necessary to create a working environment in which our people can work without injury or incident.

Our managers recognise their responsibility for managing health and safety within the Company's operations, and believe that all injuries and incidents at work are preventable. Working safely is a condition of employment for all employees and contractors.

Our managers will:

• resource and plan policy implementation
• monitor, measure and review performance targets and achievements so that we can learn from past experience, correct deficiencies, and ensure continuous improvement
• be prepared to take appropriate action against any individual or contractor who contravenes the Company's safety rules and standards
• ensure, through appropriate coaching and training, that all employees are competent to undertake their duties without causing injury or ill health to themselves or others or damage to property, plant and equipment
  Aggregate Industries firmly believes that the management of health and safety is the responsibility of all employees but must be led by line
• comply, as a minimum level of performance, with all health and safety legislation, regulation and codes of practice that are relevant to the business activity
• assess in advance the health and safety risk implications of any new plant, processes, procedures, substances and equipment in order to implement safe systems of work
• prevent any employee or contractor from undertaking a task unless it can be completed safely

To demonstrate our commitment to continuously improving our health and safety performance, we will report on our progress annually.
