Recently the Northwest Readymix VFL (Visible Felt Leadership) week took place, organised by Operations Manager, Paul Cheesman. Several senior leaders from across our UK business visited all 14 plants in the area to talk about safety and wellbeing, and share stories.

Throughout the week site employees had the opportunity to engage with the VFL visitors, talking all things safety and showcasing their plants, whilst giving physical demonstrations on Lock Out, Tag Out, Try Out Isolation procedures, which has been a focus topic of discussion.

During the week the teams also had opportunity to discuss the upcoming Road Safety Week which this year centres around “After the crash”.

VFL days are an important opportunity to sense check our drive towards “Zero for Life” with Health, Safety and Wellbeing the No 1 priority within Cemex UK, helping to teams to identify any gaps in their standards for continuous improvement for all.

Many thanks to all those who have attended and to the Operational teams and IHCs for the positive engagement with our visitors.
