Health & Safety

[edit]

Any section on health & safety should be written from a neutral point of view and be properly sourced. An example of a more balanced section might read:

Although Tarmac claims to treat health & safety as a priority its actual performance leaves significant room for improvement:

  • In 2007 five members of staff tragically lost their lives working for the company[1]
  • Investigations continue into a fatal fall while working at height at Tarmac Buxton Lime & Cement[2]
  • The Company has already accepted that major breaches of its "Golden Rules" occurred during the course of the last year[3]
  • As recently as March 2008 Tarmac Precast was found guilt of breaches of both the Working At Height Regulations 2005 and the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and was made to pay significant fines[4]
  • Although 92% of Tarmac's sites were free from injury in 2005, Tarmac failed to disclose statistics for either 2006 or 2007 and the reader can only assume there has been a serious deterioration in performance since then[5]

I would suggest deleting the section as currently drafted or alternatively replacing it with the above more balanced wording Dormskirk (talk) 22:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
