Emotive approach to safety

AGGREGATE Industries have produced a hard-hitting true-life drama documentary-style video, bringing home the importance of attention to life-preserving health and safety practices.

Entitled ‘A Job for Life’, the video aims to prompt employees and contractors to live the potential consequences of their actions. The thought-provoking story graphically depicts a reconstruction of a quarry-based fatality, including the effects on the workforce and the family of the central character. As part of the film, interviews with real employees who have themselves experienced serious accidents are featured.

Richard Gouldstone, UK health and safety advisor for Aggregate Industries, said: ‘The response to the video has been very strong and positive, and while many people might find some of the scenes upsetting, if it helps to hammer home key health and safety messages, this is surely justified.’
