Safeguarding the health and well-being of CEMEX people
is a critically important component of our corporate EHS Policy.

We have two primary objectives: ensuring that all employees have proper medical attention, and promoting a culture of good health among all employees through preventive medicine programs.

Our initiatives in 2002 ranged from stress control programs to a continuing series of vaccinations and medical examinations.

Several years ago, CEMEX began a program called Excellence in Stress Management. It is designed to provide employees with information and alternatives to manage and learn about stress. One of the tools offered is a diagnostic test to assess employee stress levels. The program continued to expand in 2002, as employees from Mexico and the Dominican Republic participated in 34 stress control seminars.
