Many members of the Mineral Products Association (MPA) may put particular effort into working safely with their concreting tools and plant hire on a day to day basis.
Last week, those who exhibit the highest standards of health and safety were recognised at a ceremony hosted at the Institution of Engineering and Technology, located in London.
Nigel Jackson, chief executive of the MPA, says: "The efforts our members are making to improve health and safety deserve praise and recognition."
He adds: "MPA members are also pushing towards the goal of a fully competent workforce."
This could see many engage in professional development to improve their skills with concreting tools and the other paraphernalia of the trade.
Almost 340 delegates including international representatives of mineral products firms from overseas attended the event.
The MPA also annually conducts the Stay Safe campaign, urging young people to protect themselves by not playing, swimming or cycling in quarries without permission or supervision.
