CEMEX UK lights up its readymixers

With the nights drawing in and poor visibility slips, trips and falls are the most prevalent hazard in winter time. CEMEX UK has found a simple, cheap and effective solution to help prevent these incidents, a head light.

The idea came from a batcher working on one of CEMEX’s 200 concrete plants and today over 500 employees and 500 independent haulier contractors in the Readymix and Mortars division from the operational people to the commercial, technical and senior management team have this necessary health and safety gadget as part of their required PPE.

The criteria for the light were easy to fit, dust resistant and minimum of 60 lumens luminosity equivalent to 1 Watt.   They are guaranteed to light up everyone’s path and help keep them safe.
