Cemex fits Wheelsure

September 18, 2010

Cemex is one of the world’s largest building products suppliers and took the decision to retro-fit Wheelsure to its entire UK Aggregates fleet in the Summer of 2008. Just a little over 12 months later the project is complete and over 300 vehicles have been fitted throughout the UK.

At the recent MPA Awards, Cemex won a highly Commended award based on this safe wheels initiative and in the words used in their safety submission, “since fitting the locking device (Wheelsure), no incidents have occurred”, from a level of 18 incidents in 2007.

Wheel nut loosening/wheel loss is particularly prevalent in this type of industry and Cemex has proved itself an industry leader in establishing best practice in preventing accidents.

Wheelsure Safety Award

October 18, 2009

Wheelsure’s customer, Cemex, won a Highly Commended award at the recent MPA Health & Safety Best Practice Awards with their entry based on the fitting of Wheelsure products to their entire UK aggregates fleet.

The awards, managed by the Mineral Products Association (MPA) were held in London in October 2009 and are a showcase for best practice in reducing accidents and promoting welfare in the quarrying industry.

Cemex took the decision to retro-fit their fleet to reduce the risks associated with Wheel Loss in their fleet (18 incidents in 2007) and their submission to the MPA records that “since fitting the locking device (Wheelsure), no incidents have occurred”.
