HSE’s Working Minds campaign marks its third anniversary, raising awareness of employers’ duty to address work-related stress

James Bullock, CEO, ConSpare, and President, MHEA, discusses what ‘social’ means in practice for batch plants, the challenges associated with understanding how to create better, cleaner and safer conditions at each of the UK’s nearly 2,000 batch plants, and three of the main problems that must be addressed – dust, cleaning and manual interventions. Using case studies and testimonials from plant managers, James ultimately explores how we can make the lives of batchers better – and how this benefits the industry as a whole.
