Cemex’s commitment to protecting vulnerable road users is what drives its programme for Road Safety Engagement in schools. Recently, a team from Halkyn quarry visited local Ysgol Brynhyfryd Primary School, to give the children an education presentation about road safety. The team took along a Cemex tipper truck to help the children understand the driver blind spots.

A big thanks to the Cemex team for the fantastic support on the day. The team included Les Grabarz – Northern Logistics Manager, Dan Wynn – Quarry Manager, Katie Herd – Driver, Mel Williams – Driver Supervisor, and Angharad Williams – Driver Supervisor,  who all supported on the day.

The team shared our Vulnerable Road User presentation to the whole school, around 130 pupils from the four years to nine years old, and they had some great participation from all the age groups.

Pupils from the school wrote to the Cemex team thanking them for arranging the event: “Thank you for spending your time with us talking about road safety when trucks and large vehicles are nearby. We really appreciate you coming to make all of the classes aware of the dangers that can happen by big vehicles, and what they may carry inside of them. We thought it was really cool how you opened the truck and how you can’t see anything ahead of you in the blind spot. Everyone also enjoyed sitting in the chairs at the front and looking through the cameras too. We appreciate that you took time out of your day to visit Ysgol Brynhyfryd with your truck.”
