STAFF SAFETY AS A PRIORITY

It’s no secret that quarrying is a dangerous industry. In the UK, over 3,500 workers have reported a quarry-related injury in the last 15 years. That’s why at William Thompson & Son, we believe that there’s no such thing as ‘too careful’. We’ve taken every measure to protect our staff and create a safe, enjoyable working environment. This has resulted in an exemplary health and safety record.
