The importance of safety, health and well-being of our employees and our business partners can never be overstated; Our policy on Health & Safety is based on the corresponding policy our Lafarge Group and Cementos Molins,and is adapted to the conditions in local context.

Health & Safety is the number one priority of your Company. Ensuring health and safety of the employees and the contractors is always a challenge and we are proud to say that your Company is winning that challenge more and more. Since its inception, for the first time in 2009, your Company achieved a lost time injury (LTI) free year while continuing our production operations. In 2009, we undertook many programmes to continue our improvement in the field of “Safety Behavioural Change” within the Company and among its contractors’ personnel. The month of March 2009 was observed as the “Near-Miss Incident Reporting Awareness Month” to improve reporting of near-miss incidents with an objective of eliminating accidents. The month of June 2009 was observed as the “Safety Month” with a theme of “Improving Our Safety Behaviour”. Many posters on core safety issues were posted at the plant, terminal and head office, and different video presentations, quiz competitions, PEP talks and training sessions were conducted to improve the safety awareness of the employees and contractors. Enthusiastic participation by both the Company and contractors’ personnel made the Safety Month a great success.

Your Company’s ambition is to be a leader in the field of Health and Safety and with that aim in mind an Annual Health & Safety Plan for 2010 is under implementation. This plan is constructed in line with world class Standards, Advisories and Priorities in such a way, so that a unique visible change can be achieved to make your Business Unit as one of the best Business Units. We are committed to ensure the best possible healthy and safe work environment for the employees and contractors of the Company.
