Another big ‘Thank You’ goes out to all of our teams 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 from the ideas from the March 2022 competition:

• Rugeley quarry – successfully installed solar lighting via motion sensors to reduce costs, especially during the Triad season.
• Brighton & Leamouth Wharfs – purchased plastic padlock covers to protect shackle openings and mechanisms from dust, sand and corrosion.
• North West Readymix – purchased a pallet truck to reduce the chances of manual handling injuries when moving steel fibers and minimise waste by storing them effectively.
• Willington quarry – constructed a Grading Screen drive cover to protect the drive belts and minimise downtime/loss of production.

After a very fiercely fought competition where the voting scores were very close, our congratulations go out to Willington quarry who narrowly took the top award this month! Congratulations to everyone involved in this fantastic idea!
