Winstone Aggregates Safety Award
The Winstone Aggregates Health and Safety Award is awarded to the quarry operation judged to have implemented an improvement or idea resulting in a shift change in the engagement or participation of the workers on site, as well as improving the site’s health or safety risks.
Sponsored by Winstone Aggregates, this trophy recognises that there has been a shift in mindset at the operation when it comes to health and safety and is a very prestigious award.
