QPR staff hold the passport to safety
10 February 2003

Staff at QPR, (Quarry Plant & Roadsprays) had their knowledge of health & safety at work put to the test recently when they took part in a training course to enable them to hold the SPA quarry industry safety passport.

The training took place at the firm's premises at Stone, Staffordshire and all participants passed the two-day course and written assessment.

All staff will now be issued with a photocard that's valid for three years which allows them access to controlled work environments. The passport, which is backed by EPIC, is recognised nationally throughout the UK by leading industry employers and has also been welcomed by the Health & Safety Executive as a way of improving health and safety and environmental protection.

QPR Managing Director Roger Hinchliffe commented: "The safety of our staff and the people we work with is of paramount importance to us. I hope that through this company-wide training we have further demonstrated this ongoing commitment to working safely to our staff and clients."
