Employment and Skills

Having a skilled, competent and informed workforce is essential for the industry to remain competitive, safe and capable of meeting the objectives of the concrete industry strategy.

Performance indicator: Percentage of employees covered by certified training and evaluation processes


The industry figure for 2020 is approximately 99% for both concrete and for concrete + reinforcement. The 2020 target is 100%.

Measurement of competency can be challenging and the current indicator essentially measures the management of training by reporting on the proportion of employees whose training is monitored and managed within certified management systems such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, BS OHSAS 18001 and others.

Please note: Based on stakeholder feedback other indicators are being considered relating to - Training hours and Formal Employee Review and Development Schemes.

This indicator is part of the Wellbeing section of the report and our 2020 strategy commitment aim to achieve zero harm.
