We’re Safer Together
ZERO HARM CAMPAIGN
Our drive towards a Zero Harm culture is underpinned by our ‘We’re Safer Together’ campaign – an award-winning engagement and learning programme, launched in 2016.
Since then our safety metrics have shown significant and major improvements with our accident frequency rate down 71%, and our lost time injury rate down 77% over the period.
AWARD WINNING PROGRAMMES
Industry leading health and safety
‘Lead the Change!’ and ‘Drive the Change!’ are our leadership development and behavioural safety training courses. In conjunction with the ‘We’re Safer Together’ campaign they won ‘Health and Safety Solution of the Year’ at the 2019 London Construction Awards.
Our specialist engineering service, SES, has also received numerous awards from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) for its safety-first approach.
Every mind matters
Mental health in the workplace matters just as much as physical health. We have developed and implemented initiatives that promote positive wellbeing for staff, from providing excellent employee benefits to building on employee resilience.
Our trained Mental Health First Aiders listen and provide support to struggling colleagues dealing with issues such as depression, bereavement, financial difficulties, anxiety, stress, personal relationships, domestic abuse and suicidal thoughts.
We promote campaigns to improve everyone’s wellbeing and work-life balance, as well as raising awareness of mental health and suicide prevention, and reducing stress and fatigue.
