Hills Group kickstart 2025 with health and safety training
Company delays opening to focus on the importance of health, safety, and well-being
AS part of their commitment to health and safety excellence, Hills Quarry Products have delayed the opening of their sites, to allow employees to participate in health and safety briefings.
Dedicating the first day back at work in the New Year to focus on health and safety matters started in 2016 and remains an important part of the company’s ongoing ‘Safer for All’ campaign.
The safety training sessions were held across operational sites in Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Berkshire, Dorset, and Devon, where Hills operate sand and gravel quarries and ready-mixed concrete production plants.
The briefings highlighted several key areas of health and safety improvement, including the ongoing need for proactive near-miss reporting, and the importance of situational awareness around plant and machinery.
Steve Huntly, Hills Quarry Products’ divisional managing director, said: ‘By starting the new year with these training sessions, we are reinforcing our philosophy that health and safety will always be a top priority and we will continue to deliver improvements in employee safety and wellbeing.
‘I am encouraged that our operational teams have once again committed to prioritize health and safety for the year ahead. The training sessions have been undertaken with enthusiasm and a collaborative approach which will help ensure that we keep Hills’ sites safer for all.’
