New Evacuation Alarms for Midlands Plants

New Evacuation Alarms for Midlands Plants

September 07, 2023
Over the past few months several Midlands plants have made significant Health & Safety improvements by implementing effective ways of raising an alarm in high-risk areas.

Rugby Cement plant, along with Coventry, Berkswell, Weeford and Pyford Readymix plants, have all benefited from new evacuation alarms, emergency contact signs and eye wash stations, placed at focused areas:
• Outside mixer rooms
• Cement blow up pipes
• Canteens
• Testers labs
• Offices
• Batch cabins and on evacuation routes

With the installation of the new alarms, multiple alarms, if necessary, can be activated upon evacuating the area. These are not just for fire but any emergency or medical issue that may arise. These have also been added to Checkproof for monthly battery tests along with the fire alarms. 


The teams have also implemented visible staff photos on noticeboards and any information that may be needed near car parks for visitors to view before meeting staff on the plants.
