 The
SPA Quarry products, mineral processing and extractive
industries' Passport Scheme has been written by
the industry for the industry sector.
The training is the product of a unique collaboration
between EPIC and SPA. All Contractors operating
within the quarrying industry are now expected
to hold a Safety Passport.
Why? The industry jointly signed with the Health
and Safety Commission (HSC) a pledge to halve
the number of accidents in the industry by 2005.The
quarry products, mineral processing and extractive
industries training focuses on health and safety
management of quarries, lifting operations, excavations
and confined space and working at height.
Contactors should first undergo the core training
- this one-day session ensures that the delegates
grasp the basics of general good practice in health
and safety.Acknowledged by the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE), the cost effective programme
drives good practice through the contractor supply
chain increasing safety awareness and contributing
to higher standards of safety and hygiene performance.
The Safety Pass Alliance work with employers,
employer associations, trade unions, NTO and other
relevant bodies to design and develop training
programmes tailored to suit each sector.
