## Quality, safety & environment

Hanson holds ISO 9002 certification from the Standards Institution of Israel (SII) covering its concrete, asphalt, and quarry operations, and was among the first in the industry to adopt SII's certification system for these facility types. [Quality & Certification page](https://www.hanson.co.il/Files.aspx)

Environmental program ([page](https://www.hanson.co.il/Environment.aspx)), run under parent Heidelberg Materials' long-term sustainability strategy (targets originally set for 2020) covering: workplace safety, biodiversity protection near quarries, alternative/cleaner fuels, green waste handling, and sustainable construction. Heidelberg is a member of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and a founding member of the Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI).

Specific measures:
- **Air monitoring**: compliance with Ministry of Environmental Protection air-quality testing, including suspended and settled dust sampling; annual air-monitoring and vehicle-fleet greenhouse-gas reports published as downloadable files for 2018–2023
- **Dust control**: industrial dust extractors and automatic water-misting systems at plants
- **Noise control**: specialized noise measurement/mitigation at the Migdal Tzedek and Har Hanaton quarries, including smart point-source noise barriers
- **Dust suppression**: unpaved quarry roads wetted by water tankers in summer
- **Transparency**: weekly resident consultation on noise and ground-vibration levels near quarries
- **Transport**: covered/electrically sealed trucks to prevent aggregate spillage; supplementary street-sweeping near plants

Quarry rehabilitation projects (with Israel's Quarry Rehabilitation Fund):
- **Migdal Tzedek quarry**: Derom HaSharon Regional Council rehabilitation plan relocating facilities into the quarry pit itself; cleared land to be transferred to the Israel Land Authority for an industrial park; quarry area eventually converted into two large water reservoirs feeding the coastal aquifer (per National Outline Plan 34 for water/aquifer recharge), plus a green park with pedestrian and bike paths
- **Har Hanaton quarry**: rehabilitation per National Outline Plan 14 — leveling the lower quarry terrace to 165m above sea level, removing facilities, clearing raw-material stockpiles, tree/vine planting on terraces, landslide prevention, and controlled backfilling (including permitted construction-debris disposal in designated fill areas)
