The security forces, this morning, asked for the cooperation of Caribbean Cement Company Limited to carry out an operation in pursuit of individuals that were being tracked in a Neighbouring community. This was a continuation of an operation which commenced in an adjacent community where it is believed that armed men gained access to our facility through the shared hills.
Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure that the security forces were able to conduct an efficient operation, all offices and active areas of the Rockfort Plant were evacuated and searches conducted. All employees, contractors and visitors were gathered in the assembly areas and all are accounted for.
An important mandate of Carib Cement is to protect its employees at all times and has implemented several emergency and evacuations procedures to do so, some of which were enacted today.
The Carib Cement Company will endeavor to keep the Carib Cement Family safe and that remains our top priority.
