The latest two Safety Alerts relate to injuries in our UK operations. The first relates to a Cement Tanker Driver that injured his ankle during a delivery to a customer site and is a reminder about the importance of carrying out Take 5, and ensuring pedestrian routes and walkways are in good repair, including clearly defining different level/height changes.  This is especially relevant to our ongoing efforts to rollout the EMEA Prevention of Slips, Trips & Falls campaign.

You can view both Safety Alerts on the UK News download page HERE.

The second alert contains details of an injury that occurred to a contractor that was struck by a falling Cement bag.  The alert contains information about an initiative the team implemented following the incident called ‘Making the Invisible, Visible’ that helped to identify hidden or less obvious hazards, together with a series of supporting Safety Talks.  Managers are encouraged to review this initiative in case it can be applied in other places.

Please review these Safety Alerts with your teams and take the opportunity to carefully review the learning points and address any gaps that are identified.

Please ensure they are shared on workplace notice boards.
