An expanded version of the Level 1 award in health and safety in construction has been launched.

The Shadow Minister for Railways, Lilian Greenwood MP, and the leader of High Peak Borough Council, Cllr Caitlin Bisknell, visited Lafarge Tarmac’s cement, lime and aggregates operations in Tunstead, UK, last week.
