Congratulations to Mark Lawton, Tony Limer, Nathan Shipstone and Gary Bresnahan – Night Shift Operatives both Maintenance and Finished Products departments at Aggregates, Dove Holes quarry – for reacting to an emergency where a security guard was having a heart attack.

The Operatives showed teamwork and a collective calmness in reassuring, comforting and treating the poorly person. Mark, lead hand and first aider, took control of the situation instigating the site emergency procedures to ensure that medical help was summoned, and that Tony was present to meet the ambulance. The security guard was treated as a responsive casualty with chest pains and was monitored using first aid knowledge and the onsite defibrillator which had been attached.

Luckily for the casualty the CEMEX Operatives had reacted quickly and safely with real purpose and endeavour which meant he was able to get to hospital alive where he was to have two stents fitted.
