With COVID-19 levels rising across the UK, the Mineral Products Association (MPA) recognises the importance of maintaining the health and safety disciplines that will be essential to keep everyone Covid secure and safe and healthy at work. To assist members with the on-going need to remind all employees of these disciplines, MPA has produced some additional posters to help reinforce the key messages. Developing on the theme used in MPA’s ‘10 Rules of Engagement’, the posters remind individuals to ‘Stay COVID-19 Alert’.

The four new posters use the following (images used):

• An allusion to the ‘Game of Thrones’ – “Winter is coming”

• The Government’s campaign slogan “Hands, Face, Space”

• The gambling theme originally used in the LOTOTO posters

• The ‘Rules of Engagement’

The posters can be downloaded free of charge from Safequarry.com.

The earlier Managers and Employees COVID-19 Guides can also be downloaded from Safequarry.com.

MPA Chief Executive Nigel Jackson said ‘the mineral products sector is recognised by Government as being essential in its own right and as such it is incumbent upon the industry that it makes every effort to be and stay Covid secure for the foreseeable future. We must assume that we will need to stay alert with Covid in our lives well into next year and learn to adapt to ensure businesses can continue to operate whilst protecting vital jobs. Without our products Government will struggle to deliver its ambitions for infrastructure and housing delivery.’
