1 Changing Attitudes To Safety
Engagement Legacy Safety Essentials / STOP & THINK Visible Felt Leadership Near Miss / Hazard Alert Safety meetings Risk assessments Worksafe Team Safety Talk about the slide contents and use examples of how we development them, how they are used and the outcomes from the modules on this slide Culture? Mention: Developing an interdependent culture, we face a number of challenges, especially regarding our people. Usually, risks are taken by people who fit into two categories. First – those that have a poor risk perception. Poor risk perception can exist for many reasons, several of which you can see on this slide. Examples include – if they are from a generation where safety was never deemed important or parents etc did things in certain ways, then they may be entrenched in acting in similar ways or having old fashioned views. Perhaps a person has not been trained and just does not understand or appreciate the risk they are taking. Perhaps they have never experienced an accident, so they could have a lack of understanding regarding what can happen. On average 2% of all accidents are attributed to Acts of God, 10% are attributed to unsafe conditions, which leaves an average 88% of all accidents in the workplace attributable to unsafe acts.

2 Woman killed in car crash
Concept & Aims: Man freed after 13 hours in cement silo Woman killed in car crash Make a comments on similar lines to: “At CEMEX, we give highest priority to preventing incidents and safeguarding the Health and Safety of our workforce. We are fully committed to carrying out our business activities in a safe and efficient manner and to care for the well-being of all those on our sites and who may be impacted by our activities”. We try and get the point across by using news stories as below: “A boy of 13 gave up his chance of being rescued from the floods so that his younger brother’s life could be saved. Jordan Rice told rescuers to take his ten-year-old brother Blake and their mother Donna from their trapped car before going back for him. His selfless act meant Blake was saved – but tragically, Jordan and his mother were swept away in the car and died.”

3 Health and Safety Culture:
Natural Instincts Management Injuries Individual Team Dependent Independent Interdependent Highlight:- How to Win Friends and Influence People (Dale Carnegies Book 1930’s). Talks about ‘The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated’ however in many workplaces today it appears that in fact its a mirror alternative, ‘How to make Enemies and Alienate People! In CEMEX Key points:- Greater engagement of the workforce in managerial decisions making improves Health, Safety and Business performance. So if appreciation is our greatest desire, why is it that employees/contractors feel alienated e.g. Ridiculed for raising a NMHC. So if using the example of the importance of our employees/contractors involvement it can be seen from the Olympic Development Authorities approach to what was one of there largest civil engineering projects ever, peaking at 20,000 workers no one was killed. Both leadership and involement was regarded as central to this success LEADERSHIP ENGAGEMENT

4 H&S Culture I wear my Seat belt…
….but only because my manager is watching me I wear my seat belt… …because I care about my own safety I don’t wear my seat belt I won’t get hurt! I wear my seat belt and encourage others because I care about my own safety and the safety of those around me This slide should be used to illustrate the concept of Dependent, Independent and Interdependent Cultures. The additional category of ‘Macho’ has been added because people often feel that also exists in part of our industry from time to time. Other examples in addition to not wearing a seatbelt could include not driving within speed limits, not using the Lock Out Tag Out procedure, etc. So what we strive to do is influence the mind set and push the concept that Interdependent is the place to be and not Macho mind set Macho Dependent Independent Interdependent

5 Injuries by Body Area 2012 : Head / Neck: TRI’s – 2 (4%)
LTI’s – 1 (8%) Face: TRI’s – 1 (3%) LTI’s – 0 Eyes: TRI’s – 0 LTI’s – 0 Chest / Upper Body: TRI’s – 2 (8%) LTI’s – 1 (8%) Arm / Shoulder / Wrist: TRI’s – 2 (8%) LTI’s – 2 (15%) Lower Body: TRI’s – 0 LTI’s – 0 Back: TRI’s – 0 LTI’s – 0 When looking at injuries by body area, the percentage of LTI’s that involve ankle injuries and TRI’s that involve hand injuries remain readily apparent. These 2 areas are largely due to employees/contractors or contractors not thinking at the time of the hazards around them Hand / Finger: TRI’s – 11 (42%) LTI’s – 2 (15%) Leg / Knee / Ankle: TRI’s – 6 (23%) LTI’s – 5 (39%) Foot / Toe: TRI’s – 2 (8%) LTI’s – 2 (15%) Multiple Areas: TRI’s – 0 LTI’s – 0

6 Concept & Aims: Mention:
We specifically target at improving engagement and getting that interdependent culture we strive for where everyone looks after each other. We have done a vast amount of health and safety training over the years, briefings, SATT's such that our overall competency is high In the position where we don't have to train people how to fill in a near miss / hazard alert card Different learning styles have been developed over years Spend some time talking / influencing & listening on a face to face basis rather than telling Engagement through self realisation, rather than instruction it's not intended to be just another training course Opportunity to discuss issues that affect development of health and safety culture and identify collaborative solutions This is intended for all operational staff and contractors

7 An Opportunity to: It is an opportunity to:
Management /Governments tend to get excited by innovation (Dominic Casserley March 2004) ‘so its about doing every day simple things better and making small incremental improvements in our H & S’ (RW) Management and the workforce must play their part. We at CEMEX are committed to ensuring everyone takes on their responsibilities. Now mention:- · Reinforce the importance which everyone’s role plays in contributing to our health and safety. Top left: Senior Management Team signs up to the New Essentials launch. Top Right:3 CEMEX personnel were amongst 29 people recognised at the MPA Awards for “going the extra mile” in furthering the cause of health and safety. Frank Hogg, Chris Rose and Ronnie Simpson. Bottom centre: Not bad for a combined 65 years of service! Plant Manger and Op’s · Demonstrate the strength of team safety and how we all have a part to play. · Help everyone to realise that nothing should come before safety...”There is no productive need, competitive advantage, cost or time saving measure which is worth an injury of any kind to any person.” · Reinforce the Safety Essentials and Stop & Think mentality. · Ask that everyone looks after themselves and each other and understands that they are expected to challenge unsafe situations / behaviours and not walk on by. The structured discussions should allow any barriers that hinder the development of an interdependent / team safety culture to be examined, including any personal perceptions, and help identify areas where individuals, sites and management teams can improve.

8 Please Look After Me MAKE THE STATEMENT THAT: “Someone told me once that in life there is no rewind button”. You have to live with the consequences of what you did, or didn’t do, for the rest of your life. We ask our employees/contractors: if you see anyone on site, or anywhere for that matter, doing something that you think is unsafe please tell them. Also, if you are working and a colleague says he thinks what you are doing is unsafe, it No Doubt is! So please listen and don’t be offended. Be pleased that someone cares about you. Other actions: We ask our employees/contractors to take the time to share this with your team, either individually or in small groups. Ask people how they feel about challenging someone doing something unsafe...discuss how they would feel if they turned a blind eye and someone was seriously injured or killed. As suggested in Paul’s letter, please encourage team members to put the ‘Please Look After Me’ stickers on either side of their safety helmet as an indication that they would like people to speak up if they see them doing something unsafe. In CEMEX we ask every one to have an effective discussion about the consequences of incidents and the need for us all to ‘Look after ourselves and each other’...it will have far more benefit than simply handing out the materials
