The following abstract from the HSE website explains why Tomburn keeps Health and Safety as one of its main priorities:

“The metal finishing or surface engineering industry has significantly higher accident rates (for fatal or 3-day injuries) than manufacturing as a whole. Indeed, whilst accident rates for manufacturing have dropped over the last 6 year period, in Surface Engineering industries they have increased.

For example, the major injury rate for surface engineering has increased from 270 (per 100,000 employees) in 1996/7 to 445 in 2002/3 whereas the manufacturing industry rates have fallen from 206 to 196 over the same period.”
