Periodically CEMEX UK reviews the UK Health & Safety policy.  Following consultation with the Statutory Directors of CEMEX UK Operations Limited, there is an updated version of the policy.

The main changes are:

• Rebrand using Zero4Life and STOP, THINK & ACT to align with the EMEA Region.

• Reference to TAKE 5 in “All Employees” responsibilities and expanded “Emergency Procedures” to “Emergency Preparedness / Crisis Management”.

• In the Arrangements:

• • Risk Assessments – expanded to increase emphasis on health and wellbeing.
  • Safe Working Procedures – modified to reflect new Permit to Work formats.
  • Consultation with Employees – removed reference to Health & Safety Forums, relying on the structure of Health & Safety Committees.
  • Behavioural Safety – replaced Worksafe with TAKE 5.
  • Control of Contractors – removed direct reference to AVETTA, referring instead to “third party accreditation” in anticipation of the move to MP Connect.
  • Accident / Incident Reporting and Investigation – expanded to include new requirements around vehicle and mobile plant incidents.
  • Emergency Preparedness / Crisis Management – now includes Crisis Management / RRT and reference to pandemics.

It would be appreciated if you could ask your teams to ensure the latest revision of the policy is brought to the attention of all employees, with the one page Policy Statement on page 1 also being displayed on appropriate noticeboards.
