Johnsons Wellfield Quarries at Crosland Hill hosted the event, which aimed to build on the progress made by the industries in reducing fatalities, improving the safety culture and developing competency throughout the workforce.
The event included sessions showcasing best practice in areas such as lifting and towing operations, hazard awareness, mobile plant inspection, managing emergency spills and operating in confined spaces.
