In the incident described in the latest Global Safety Alert, a contract truckmixer driver sadly lost his life when his truckmixer overturned on hillside access track. As you will see, the driver stopped his vehicle when it strayed from the centre line of the access track as he reversed uphill, but on exiting the cab the truckmixer overturned, throwing him into neighbouring trees.

Please review the Alert with your teams, including employee and contract drivers, highlighting:

• The importance of collecting relevant information about specific delivery site hazards and ensuring we share this information with drivers.
• The need for vehicles to be fitted with all required safety features, maintained in good working order.
• The requirement for drivers to carry out Take 5 / MYSPACE assessments and highlight any concerns about delivery sites to their company contacts.

The Alert can be found in the downloads section of UK News website: Safety Alert - Contractor fatally injured (826 downloads) and should also be displayed on relevant noticeboards.

CEMEX Global Protocols require all Fatal Alerts to be communicated and Managers to capture the signature of employees and contractors to confirm they have received and understood the information and the control measures they need to adopt.  In addition, operations are invited to observe a one-minute silence in memory of the deceased at the time of discussing a Fatal Incident Safety Alert.
