Pocket Guides to Help MPA Members Adapt to COVID-19

The Mineral Products Association (MPA) has launched three new sector specific pocket guides, for Managers and Employees, which are designed to support members in keeping employees, contractors, suppliers and customers safe as site operations adapt to the restrictions of COVID-19 and become COVID secure. Plus an Operational Guidance document and a Resource Page to all available resources for their members.

Drawing on expert industry advice and techniques, they have been prepared by the MPA’s Health and Safety Committee. A comprehensive Technical Handbook will be available later this week and further resources, including posters, are anticipated.

Based around ‘10 Rules of Engagement’ designed to defend employees at work, they are as follows:
