Success at the MPA Safety Awards

Success at the MPA Safety Awards

January 26, 2023
As you may know, the Mineral Products Association Health & Safety Awards were held last week, with CEMEX in the running for nearly all categories.

We were, therefore, very pleased to be announced as winners for two categories, while also receiving a number of ‘highly commended’, finalist and individual recognitions. At the end of this message you can read a full list of the categories we were recognised in.

On behalf of the UK Health & Safety Committee I would like to congratulate all the CEMEX winners and finalists of MPA Awards for their well-deserved achievements. Recognition such as this relies on teamwork, and I thank everyone for your continued commitment to following our Health & Safety protocols and behaviours. We should all be proud to see how many categories CEMEX has featured in, as it is a clear reflection of our company-wide dedication to keeping those around us safe.

Please continue to keep Health & Safety your number one priority at all times and keep sharing your ideas and recommendations for Health & Safety improvements. Thank you for your ongoing support.
