CEMEX: Health and Safety Overhaul

12 Apr 2022

In this case study we dissect our work with CEMEX. We look back at how our recommendation of several training courses drastically improved their health and safety standards and operations.

Company profile

In the UK, CEMEX generates around £775 million in annual sales. In addition to ready mixed concrete, cement and aggregates they also supply and install asphalt materials, manufacture concrete block pavings, rail products, bespoke pre-cast and concrete blocks. CEMEX operates a comprehensive national supply network to ensure that quality materials and services are available to customers locally. Nationwide, the company operates over 230 concrete mixing plants to ensure efficient delivery to virtually any location in the UK. CEMEX employs around 3500 people in the UK who work to organisational core values that underpin their commitment to corporate and social responsibility and sustainability.

Solution

Astutis is the preferred provider of health, safety and environmental training to Cemex operations across the UK. Astutis works closely with the Cemex UK Central HSE Team. The Astutis Account Manager coordinates the delivery of in-company training: NEBOSH National General Certificate, NEBOSH Construction Certificate and IOSH Managing Safely courses at sites across the UK. Numerous delegates have also completed these and other courses, including the NEBOSH Diploma via our UK network of open course venues and through recommendation. Astutis has also trained one of their overseas staff who combined a UK trip with attending an Astutis NEBOSH International General Certificate course.

Due to the geographical nature of the business and operational demands, a number of Cemex managers have opted to use Astutis online courses due to the flexibility of this method of learning and the proven track record of its success for organisations with staff working in different locations. The multi-media rich and highly interactive learning has provided Cemex with a very convenient alternative for successfully completing courses.

As a result of a successful relationship with Cemex, contractors are also referred to Astutis to service their health and safety training needs.

Astutis add NEBOSH IIRSM Risk Management Qualification to Course Library

We are delighted to expand our health, safety and environmental training library with the addition of the NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Managing Risk.

Risk management is transferable to any industry, profession, organisation or country. The course broadens learners thinking beyond their discipline, enabling them to understand the critical relationship between risk management and all business functions.

Brenig Moore, Astutis Technical Director, has said. "It's a pleasure to add this course to our prospering, life-changing collection of health, safety and environmental training courses. The NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Risk Assessment promises to add an extra layer of risk security to workplaces worldwide".

David Towlson, NEBOSH Director of Learning and Assessment, said: “Successful organisations know how to manage risk well. And not just at Board level but through all functions and levels of the business. The NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Managing Risk gives you the skills and confidence, no matter where you work, to apply business risk management principles within day-to-day operations.”
