Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) is an integral part of our corporate social responsibility. As such we place the highest value in ensuring healthy and safe workplaces, striving for zero lost time accidents to our employees, contractors, and visitors. Our cement plants in Bulacan, Lugait, and La Union are certified ISO 18001, integrating this system with quality and environment.
Holcim Philippines aims for a zero incident leading to fatality and/or permanent disability of all employees in the plant and its satellite premises. It is also targeting a very low frequency of 1.7 and severity of 25 each year.
In order to achieve such indicators, it adopted some programs from the Holcim Group and from other Holcim companies that have been proven to be effective in the reduction of incidents in the plant. One of the major programs adopted is the OH&S pyramid (shown below) from HGRS which is very well in the heart of health and safety activities in the plant. It is the visual representation of the basic elements or blocks that has to be addressed in developing and implementing the OH&S system. Each plant has different colors depending on the degree of its implementation.

Last year, the company also launched the Management Safety Audit where members of top management (Members of the Management Committee, Plant Managers, and direct reports) are required to do safety and health audit in the plant and satellite premises looking at either an area (working environment) or job procedures. It is a good method of implementing the adage “walk the talk”.
