LafargeTarmac’s Cauldon cement works is marking a record 500 days of zero harm. It follows the factory celebrating five years with no lost time injuries (LTIs) and its quarry being free of LTIs for 17 years.

Plant manager Martin Bains said: "This is a great achievement and one which clearly demonstrates our commitment to the highest standards of health and safety across our business. It is testament to the dedication of our staff in striving to find new and better ways to improve health and safety on site.”
