Safety education programme<br />
Aggregate Industries UK > Health & Safety Department, Derbyshire > 01463 773100<br />
Aggregate Industries UK (AI) engaged the services of DuPont to assist the <strong>com</strong>pany in assembling a major<br />
re-education programme for all employees in every aspect of the business.<br />
AI then embarked on a major training programme for employees over the next four to five years. This<br />
programme involved addressing key issues to change the overall culture of the business, and included<br />
presentations, seminars and videos.<br />
The <strong>com</strong>pany adopted a procedure from DuPont which encouraged operatives to audit behavioural<br />
influences (interactive auditing) and causation. This process looks at unsafe acts, unsafe conditions and<br />
safety rule violations. Training was carried out to all levels of management, from board level down to<br />
supervisory level.<br />

handling and water safety.<br />
Delegates are charged a nominal fee to attend<br />
