STAFF at Veka in Burnley have proved they are no mugs when it comes to health and safety.

The company has presented each of its 240-plus employees with a specially commissioned coffee mug to celebrate its best ever season for safety at work.

The firm, which manufactures plastic parts, had just one reportable' injury accident at its Rossendale Road factory in the January to March quarter down from six in the same time last year and only 12 incidents in total compared with 25 previously.

"The result is a credit to everyone," said managing director Mark de Meza.

"We have done really well to achieve it and I know we will put just as much effort into keeping it at that level. The health and safety of all VEKA employees is essential and every one of us can contribute to it."

Each of the mugs carries the familiar VEKA diamond logo plus the motto: "Think safe, work safe, be safe."
