Northstone builds impact in the community

Northstone (NI) Ltd is part of CRH Plc, the largest listed company in Ireland and has 34 fixed locations and 70 construction sites across the province. However, in spite of significant resources dedicated to improving resources, recent years has seen the continuing improvement in health and safety performance achieved slowing and level off. Senior managers were seeking an initiative that would act as a catalyst to improve safety standards by greater employee commitment and involvement.

Northstone (NI) Ltd formed a strategic partnership with the Simon Community to promote and encourage safer workplaces across the company while at the same time addressing homelessness in Northern Ireland. The initiative meant that the Simon Community would benefit from a sizeable donation for every accident free quarter across the company’s stakeholder locations.
