Our product quality commitment
Quality
AUDEMARD is committed to the quality of its products by respecting the various European and French standards that apply to all materials (aggregates or ready-to-use concrete) intended to be used in public works, civil engineering projects, or buildings. Before being marketed, the materials must meet these standards.
CONTINUOUS ACTION TO CONTROL RISKS
Health and safety
At Audemard, we recognize that safety actions must be continuously pursued in order to control our business risks and achieve our goal of zero accidents. With this determination, we have established five objectives:
Everyone’s safety means safety for everyone!
Our system of Health/Safety Management is primarily focused on a preventative action that requires everyone to participate in safety measures.
This awareness among our teams is supported by our on-site management and well-communicated safety practices.
Audemard has developed communication tools for our quarry staff, including our Personnel Manual, which is a shared resource, and safety pamphlets.
These actions are reflected on the ground in many ways, such as implementing the use of various materials: personal protective equipment (helmets, masks, goggles, etc.), lifts for work at high elevations, high-voltage detectors for our concrete pump trucks, mobile shelters for miners during blasts, etc.
Additionally, our staff goes through specific safety training, which is supplemented by periodic updates (electrical clearances, first responders, CACES, etc.).
