Sheffield Local Asphalt "Thumbs Up for Hands Stand-Down"

Well done to the Local Asphalt team at Sheffield who supported the safety stand down by shutting the Asphalt Plant and depot at 11am to discuss eliminating hand injuries. 

Steve Taylor, Plant Manager, commented: 

“There was a great deal of input from all, and the tangents for safety went far and wide.  Overall this was a very worthwhile session and will be used by all to keep safe at home as well as work whilst ensuring work mates, contractors and family are all looked after by stepping-in should they see something unsafe.” 

Joining the Sheffield team in another part of the country the Rapidmix Plant was idle for a few hours, also in support of the hand safety stand down. Paving Solutions Southern team also took time out to think about hand safety. 

Well done to all these teams and anyone else who took the time out to focus on how to make our hands safer at work.
