Efforts to reduce the risk of accidents at Cemex’s Lloseta cement plant in Spain have helped the facility to win an award from the Baleares Confederation of Business Associations. The company was presented with the award for recognising and fostering the integration of labour health and safety in the company’s development, as well as educating workers so they can adopt safe behaviours in the workplace.
Through the awards the association seeks to incentivise and publically recognise the efforts of companies, as well as to promote examples of best practices so they can be incorporated in more other businesses in the Baleares region.
The Lloseta plant has achieved 730 consecutive days without lost time injury due to a series of safety policies and best practices that the plant has successfully implemented.
Lloseta plant director Ignacio Miranda said, “The plant’s policy on health and safety can be defined with two words: zero Accidents. We work hard to constantly form, involve, and create awareness among workers that the objective can be achieved, and proof of that is our record of over 730 days without accidents. It is crucial that we do not let our guard down and implement all necessary measures to continue pursuing this goal.”
