On behalf of the Management Team, a big ‘Thank You’ goes out to everyone for continuing to develop and implement their ideas that will help make Cemex a safer place to work, with better quality and greater efficiency / effectiveness.

The following summary gives a brief overview of the ideas from the July 2023 competition:

• Northwest Area Readymix – Have recycled damaged IBCs by cutting them down, positioned in appropriate areas within the plants, then filled with soil and wildflowers. To finish the aesthetic look the IBCs have been wrapped with a banner depicting various biodiversity opportunity pictures from within Cemex.

• Northwest Area (Blackburn, Liverpool, Widnes) Readymix – Have reduced the number of times Plant Managers have to access confined space plant mixers to manually remove build up using breakers etc. by applying the mould oil combined with daily cleaning of the mixer using high pressure wash systems.

• Angerstein Wharf – An Orange Beacon was installed for when the water hit the low-level probe to alert the team, making it easily visible for Loading Shovel Driver feeding the plant, Plant Operatives and also office staff. This will then reduce the number of occasions of having to use mains water by using the river water.

Our congratulations go out to our Angerstein Wharf team who took the top award this month!
