Employee safety is of utmost importance at CEMEX. We are committed to identifying and reducing any safety risks associated with our operations by improving how we reinforce safe behaviors with our employees and strengthening the accountability of management for ensuring safe behavior. A flagship safety leadership program called LEGACY was designed and developed in 2009 to equip managers at all levels within CEMEX with the tools, skills, and behaviors they need to lead safer, more efficient operations. The objective of LEGACY is to promote a cultural change in the way we currently operate, moving from "production" to "safe production" to help us achieve our global, long-term goal of zero incidents.
LEGACY is the foundation for a new global safety leadership course, which all leaders, from executives to front-line supervisors, are required to complete. The two-day course, designed and developed by CEMEX, is based on seven behaviors of effective safety leadership and covers themes such as leading by example, understanding processes and people, communication, and motivation and accountability. The global safety course complements behavior-based safety programs previously established in some of our countries of operation.
In addition to LEGACY, we have developed a root-cause investigation tool to improve the quality of incident investigations in the company. This process enables us to better understand the true root causes of safety incidents and those aspects of our safety management system that we must strengthen in order to prevent injuries. In addition, we have developed a root-cause analysis training course to improve the quality of incident investigation.
"LEGACY, one of the best courses I've attended, will make a huge improvement in the way we deal with safety at all levels, provided that we believe in it with our hearts."
