Billy Scobbie is a new laboratory Technician at Dove Holes quarry. On Easter Monday Billy was walking home after a trip into town. He noticed a man coming down the road on a scooter. As he was crossing the road Billy heard a noise, and turning around, saw that the man had fallen off his scooter and didn’t seem to be moving. Billy ran over to see if he was ok but found the man unconscious.

Staying calm, Billy’s First Aid training from a previous role kicked in, and after calling for an ambulance he started to do CPR. Billy continued CPR for around five minutes, in which time the police passed by and stopped to help. Amazingly, the man came round and was taken to hospital by the ambulance crew. They let Billy know that by bravely stepping in, his quick actions had saved the man’s life.

The road is the busiest road in and out of Buxton so Billy’s bravery to step in, to quickly assess the situation and begin CPR, saved the man’s life. Well done Billy for showing bravery and quick thinking under difficult circumstances. Being able to put his first aid training into use to save a life is an amazing thing and Cemex is proud to have you on board!
