Further case studies are being developed and will be added in due course.This Guide was developed by the MPA’s Biodiversity and Nature Conservation Group following a workshop it held in late 2013. The Guide aims to build on existing guidance and considers how minerals can be worked and sites restored to deliver biodiversity gains within aerodrome safeguarding areas while reducing and managing bird strike hazard and risk to levels acceptable to aerodrome operators and mineral planning authorities.This document has been prepared by the MPA and Reece Safety to Share Best Practice and to raise awareness of the subject 'LOTOTO' to help guide the industry to a safer working environment. With the affiliation of British Precast, the British Association of Reinforcement (BAR), Eurobitume, QPA Northern Ireland, MPA Scotland and the British Calcium Carbonate Federation, it has a growing membership of 480 companies and is the sectoral voice for mineral products.
It covers 100% of UK cement production, 90% of aggregates production, 95% of asphalt and over 70% of ready-mixed concrete and precast concrete production. We are also a strong supporter of the Mineral Products Association (MPA) annual “Stay Safe” campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the danger of trespassing in quarries.
By developing industry best practice and guidance, raising awareness using a variety of media, developing useable tools for reducing risk and doing all those exceptionally well with an uncompromising approach, the Health & Safety Committee believe that we could potentially reduce up to 75% of our most serious health and safety incidents.The case studies below illustrate aspects of good practice in delivery of biodiversity while mitigating birdstrike risk. MPA membership is made up of the vast majority of independent SME quarrying companies throughout the UK, as well as the 9 major international and global companies.
