Carib Cement teaches students about truck blind spots
In addition to conducting safety training for 180 third party contracted truck drivers in its network, Caribbean Cement Company Ltd continues its programme of educating students at the primary level about road safety and particularly truck safety. Children are among those identified as vulnerable road users and are specially included in safety awareness initiatives of the CEMEX Global Supply Chain Vulnerable Road Users safety programme. Carib Cement is a member of the CEMEX group.
On Thursday, February 21, a team from Carib Cement demonstrated to all the students at Wolmer’s Prep school in Kingston, the blind spots on trucks as well as other risk factors. Students were shown inside and outside of the truck to get an understanding from both the drivers’ and pedestrians’ perspectives. They were urged to avoid the four blind spots which are the extreme front, the two sides of the cab and the extreme back of trucks. They also received other road safety reminders.
