When you are running a Lend-A-Hand event you should always carry out a risk assessment prior to starting the event/job.

This can be carried out a day or so beforehand if possible, or on the day itself.  There is a form that can be used and it is just basic common sense.  It should be carried out by the most senior CEMEX person present.  As an example, the Sustainability and Security Team have a Lend-A-Hand event planned for 19th November at a local dog rescue in Rugby.

Ellen Boylin went down to visit a few weeks ago to meet the Team and to discuss what help they required and also to give the venue ‘the once over’.  Andy Spencer (most Senior person) will fill in a Risk Assessment on the day before they all start work.

If anyone has any concerns from a Health & Safety point of view you should contact the Health & Safety Department at Oldbury before the event.

The Risk Assessment form can be found under the ‘FORMS’ section at the bottom of the Lend-A-Hand page on Shift.
