The Holcim Critical
Control Management
approach is based

on our 4 “Principles Program Overview
of Critical Event

Elimination”: The Critical Control Management program has been
structured to allow easy implementation in all of our
operating Units into practice quickly.

The first three steps listed below were completed by
Serious Incident global cross-functional and multi-geographic teams in
and Fatality order to establish the basis for a consistent Critical Control
Management program - these are not part of Unit-level
Implementation Actions.
Causes of serious incidents are
different from causes of minor Steps 4, 5 and 6 are the actions that Units need to complete
incidents for local implementation. All steps are explained in this
Program Guide to help users understand the foundation
and process clearly.

Internal Expertise
Critical Control Management Global
Development and Implementation Actions
Controls for serious incidents
and fatalities are known
and understood in the Completed in advance
organization of Unit-level Implementation

A Identify Priority Unwanted Events (P.U.E.)
Data analysis identifying ‘Fatal 8’ events led to
Critical Controls >85% of fatalities in Holcim

Certain controls for serious B Determine Critical Controls
Crucial to prevent serious event; absence
incidents and fatalities are significantly increase risk despite other controls
more important than others
C Specify Performance Requirements
Minimum required from a critical control to
ensure effective in mitigating risk
Operational
Discipline
Completed by each Unit
Clarity, verification, and during implementation
ownership of controls are
crucial for success 1 Ownership and Accountability
Assign ownership for P.U.E.s and control
verification activity

2 Field Verification and Action
Onsite check to validate the control in place
and is effective; clear action to correct gaps

Reporting and Measurement
3 Capture results of verification to indicate ‘health’
of the controls over time and across areas
