Safety & Wellness Week 2024

Our annual Safety & Wellness Week kicked off on Monday 18th November and will run until Friday 22nd November 2024. This year we are focusing on two key themes:

🚫 Take Five, Stay Alive – Safety is our number one value, and it takes priority over everything we do as a business. It is essential that for our own safety, and the safety of those around us, we take the five essential steps in order to carry out works correctly:

✅ Stop and think
✅ Identify all hazards
✅ Assess the risk
✅ Control the risk
✅ Proceed with care

Our 10 platinum rules are directly linked to the above steps and provide us with clear guidelines on how to operate safely.

🔅 Nourish to Flourish – Our wellness theme is centered around the five key foundations of our mental health, and the importance of nourishing these foundations, allowing our wellbeing to grow, prosper, and flourish. This week we have had live seminars from our brilliant EAP – Spectrum.Life on how to optimise our wellbeing and make positive, practical changes.

👯 In addition, we have been extremely busy, with many of our senior managers, back office staff, and clients getting out to site and meeting our operatives. This is an excellent way to get a first hand insight into the danger that our work brings, and the essential measures that need to be practically put in place to ensure all operatives get home safe to their families daily.

📸 Pictured below are site visits conducted on the following dates:

💫 We will continue to drive our Safety & Wellness message throughout this week and beyond.
