Key Issues

Health & Safety

The health and a safety of employees and contractors is the top priority for the industry. We are committed to driving down accident rates and continually review working practices to improve site safety.

There is huge range of specific programmes and resources created by the MPA to help with the task, see the sustainability microsite here.
