Slips, trips and falls account for over half of our most serious workplace injuries across Cemex UK’s operations in the last 12 months.  On the UK News download page: Stop, Think, Act Safety Talk - Briefing Tool for Managers (1262 downloads) you can find our Stop, Think, Act Safety Talk – briefing tool for managers.  This document is intended to help facilitate discussion between local teams about some of the recent incidents colleagues have suffered, typical hazards and risks that can lead to injury, and reminders of how we can keep ourselves safe, along with one or two good practice examples of workplace standards.

For All Managers and Supervisors

Please use the materials here with your teams, to lead discussions and consider carrying out some of the suggested exercises:

1. Review housekeeping standards and implement / embed 5S with support from the Operational Excellence Team where appropriate.
2. Hold a hazard spotting exercise and consider how slip / trip hazards can be eliminated; refresh the painting of remaining trip hazards, stairways and handrails.
3. Ask the team to display Get a Grip signs in prominent locations.
4. Reinforce Get a Grip through a campaign to observe everyone using 3 points of contact getting in / out of vehicles.
