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 May 2023 competition:

• Jarrow Wharf – Removed the hazard of large metal doors slamming shut in high winds by replacing them with roller shutter doors.
• Northfleet Wharf – Installed hard-wearing metal hydraulic hose protection on the Doosan Shovel to reduce downtime and maintenance expenditure.
• Rugeley quarry – Improved the old wear liner storage area with a more organised and effectively labelled solution to reduce non value adding time searching for parts.
• Peterlee Mortar plant – Installed a nice and simple Health & Safety improvement that supplements some of the visual management with a great audible reminder to keep “3 Points of Contact” on stairways / “Get a Grip”!

Our congratulations go out to our Peterlee Mortar plant who took the top award this month!
