The latest meeting of the UK National Health & Safety Committee brought together employee representatives and business leaders from across Cemex UK to review safety performance, share best practice and discuss key priorities for the remainder of 2026.

The committee reviewed global, regional and UK health and safety performance, alongside progress against the 2026 EMEA Health & Safety Improvement Plan. Updates included the rollout of Task Planning & Management training for operational leaders, the continued implementation of Take 5 training across the business, and a renewed focus on visible leadership and supervision during the summer months when incident risk can increase.

Members also shared practical examples of 5S improvements from sites across the UK, demonstrating how simple, low-cost changes can improve traffic management, reduce risk and create safer, more efficient workplaces. Examples included projects at Gorton, Stepney, Leeds, Bletchley and Selby.

The meeting also heard updates from the Wellbeing Strategy Group and National Road Safety Committee, covering mental health initiatives, neurodiversity support, physical health campaigns, driver wellbeing, vehicle safety and training programmes.

An update was also provided on the revised UK Health & Safety Policy which has now been shared, with guidance to support Managers and teams.
