Lafarge is committed to providing a safe work environment and to conducting its various businesses in a safe manner. Health and safety are core business values that must be incorporated into all aspects of our operations.
We integrate health and safety objectives into our management systems at all levels of the Company. Achievement of these objectives is reinforced by our recognition and rewards programs.
Everyone shares responsibility for health and safety. All employees expect a safe and healthy work environment, and in turn, we expect each employee to contribute to that safe environment through responsible behavior.
When it comes to safety, the only acceptable number is zero – zero accidents, incidents or cases of ill health. Reaching this goal is critical to our overall business success.
When Lafarge purchased a company called Western Mobile of New Mexico nearly a decade ago, the deal included a 120-acre tract of land in New Mexico that was originally part of the ancestral home of the Santa Clara Pueblo tribe. The Santa Clara Pueblo can now reclaim the landscape so that future generations of the tribe will have an important place to reconnect with their ancestry.
