CRH (CRH) 20-F 2010 FY Annual report (foreign)

Exhibit 99.1

Disclosure of Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) Safety Data

On 21 July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) was enacted. Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires companies that are “operators” (as such term is defined in the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”)) to disclose certain mine safety information in each periodic report to the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the “Commission”). This information is related to the enforcement of the Mine Act by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). The US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has not issued final rules under these provisions; therefore, it is possible that any final rules or guidelines adopted by the SEC will require future disclosures to be presented in a different form or contain additional or alternative content.

CRH is committed to the health and safety of its employees and in providing an incident free workplace. The Group maintains a comprehensive health and safety programme that includes extensive training for all employees and contractors, site inspections, emergency response preparedness, crisis communications training, incident investigation, regulatory compliance training and process auditing.

CRH’s US aggregate quarry and mine operations are subject to MSHA regulation under the Mine Act. MSHA inspects our mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Whenever MSHA issues a citation or order, it also generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, related to the alleged violation.

The information in the table below reflects citations and orders MSHA issued to CRH during the year ended 31 December 2010, as reflected in our records. The data in our system may not match or reconcile with the data MSHA maintains on its public website. In evaluating this information, consideration should also be given to factors such as: (i) the number of citations and orders may vary depending on the size and operation of the mine, (ii) the number of citations issued may vary from inspector to inspector and mine to mine, and (iii) citations and orders may be contested and appealed, and in that process, may be reduced in severity and amount, and may be dismissed.

(1) MSHA assigns an identification number to each mine or operation and may or may not assign separate identification numbers to related facilities. The information provided in this table is presented by mine identification number.

(2) The definition of mine under Section 3 of the Mine Act includes the mine, as well as other items used in, or to be used in, or resulting from, the work of extracting minerals, such as land, structures, facilities, equipment, machines, tools, and preparation facilities. Unless otherwise indicated, any of these other items associated with a single mine have been aggregated in the totals for that mine.

(3) Represents the total number of citations issued by MSHA, for violation of health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to a serious injury if left unabated. If MSHA determines that a violation of a mandatory health or safety standard is reasonably likely to result in a reasonably serious injury or illness under the unique circumstance contributed to by the violation, MSHA will classify the violation as a “significant and substantial” violation.

(4) Represents the total number of orders issued, which represents a failure to abate a citation under section 104(a) within the period prescribed by MSHA.

(5) Represents the total number of citations and orders issued by MSHA of the Mine Act for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory health or safety standards. These violations are similar to those described above, but the standard is that the violation could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a safety or health hazard, but the conditions do not cause imminent danger, and the MSHA inspector finds that the violation is caused by an unwarranted failure of the operator to comply with the health and safety standards.

(6) Represents the total number of flagrant violations identified.

(7) Represents the total number of imminent danger orders issued under section 107(a) of the Mine Act. These orders are issued for situations in which MSHA determines an imminent danger exists in the quarry or mine and results in orders of immediate withdrawal of all persons (except certain authorised persons) from the area of the quarry or mine affected by its condition until the imminent danger and the underlying conditions causing the imminent danger no longer exist.

(8) Total dollar value of proposed assessments from MSHA under the Mine Act. These are the amounts of proposed assessments issued by MSHA with each citation or order for the time period covered by the reports. Penalties are assessed by MSHA according to a formula that considers a number of factors, including the mine operator’s history, size, negligence, gravity of the violation, good faith in trying to correct the violation promptly, and the effect of the penalty on the operator’s ability to continue in business.

(9) Pending legal actions before the Commission as required to be reported by Section 1503(a)(3) of the Dodd-Frank Act.
