On behalf of the Management team, another big ‘Thank You’ goes out to everyone for continuing to develop and implement their ideas that will help make Cemex a Safer place to work, with better Quality and greater Efficiency / Effectiveness.

The following summary gives a brief overview of the ideas from the March 2023 competition:

• Midlands Readymix – Have developed a simple ‘Induction Sign’ to communicate Site Rules and ensure collect customers do not overload vehicles.
• West Deeping quarry – Developed a ‘Safety Boot Cleaning Station’ to effectively remove mud from boots and reducing the likelihood of STF injuries.
• Midlands Readymix – Installed ‘Evacuator’ alarms to safely and effectively evacuate employees, contractors and visitors on site in the event of an emergency.
• Midlands Readymix – Installed ‘Weatherproof Eyewash Stations’ on top of Silos – close to where they are potentially most needed.
• Midlands Readymix – Following a T5T the team have installed small ‘5-in-one Fire Extinguishers’ as a backup to a fire blanket, which covers five different types of fire: electrical, cooking oil, textiles, petrol/diesel and paper/card.

Our congratulations go out to Midlands Readymix who took the top award this month for the ‘Evacuator’ alarm system!
