Working in a quarry may be one of the most risky industries to work in. The CCCL management is firmly committed to a policy enabling all work activities to be carried out safely, and with all possible measures taken to remove (or at least reduce) risks to the health, safety and welfare of workers, contractors, authorised visitors, and anyone else who may be affected by our operations. Policies and Legislations which apply to working at the CCCL Quarry include The CCCL Health and Safety Policy, which states the management’s intention/commitment to providing employees, visitors & those connected with our business with a safe and healthy working environment. It also provides employees with the appropriate training, safe plant, equipment and work systems.
In the first half of 2017, the CCCL Quarry instituted a Health and Safety Training Program that aims to create a unified culture of safety across all of its divisions, urging all employees to take responsibility for their personal safety as well as the safety of their co-workers.
The training program focuses on health and safety concerns that determine the best way to deal with a particular hazard. The program provides for the general health and safety rules of the worksite, specific site hazards and the safe work practices needed to help control exposure, and the individual’s role in all types of emergency situations. The program will ensure all employees understand the hazards to which they may be exposed and how to prevent harm to themselves and others from exposure to these hazards and comprises the following:
It is hoped that everyone in the company will benefit from the health and safety training through fewer workplace injuries and illnesses, reduced stress and higher morale. Productivity, profits, and competitiveness will increase as production costs per unit, turnover, and workers compensation rates will lower.
Whether working in the office or in the field, each of our employees plays a critical role in our safety success, and with the training program in place, CCCL can continue to make great strides going forward.
“Health and safety is part of our business just like production and quality. Health and safety affects production, quality, and financial results!!”
