PEOPLE AND SAFETY FIRST
STOP UNSAFE WORK
All employees, subcontractors, hauliers and visitors are given a small card that states they are both entitled and obliged to stop all unsafe work. The purpose is to raise awareness of safety and to acknowledge that each individual employee is both permitted and expected to point out work that is being carried out in a manner that is not safe.
Safety is security
