CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES FROM ACROSS NORTHERN IRELAND TAKE PART IN SAFETY REBOOT INITIATIVE ON HEALTH AND SAFETY... Support for SafetyReboot
J anuary saw a huge number of construction companies from across Northern Ireland taking part in the Construction Employers Federation’s Safety Reboot initiative, which was aimed at encouraging members to take fifteen minutes each week throughout the month to stop work and engage with their employees on key areas of health and safety.
Jonathan Caughey, Federation Manager, commented: “It was fantastic to see so many companies get involved in the Safety Reboot initiative. It was evident from the great response on social media that lots of members used the resources provided by the CEF health & safety committee to discuss topics including working at height, mental health and slips, trips and falls. This was a brilliant way for Northern Irish construction companies to showcase how seriously they take health and safety. “By including sub-contractors when discussions took place on site, it significantly widened the reach of the initiative, so many companies and their employees have benefitted from a refresh on the critical areas that Safety Reboot covered. Construction companies have had to adapt so they can follow Standard Operating
Procedures to keep sites open throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, so the start of the new year was a great time to refocus on the ‘bread and butter’ health and safety issues that companies have to manage daily.” Declan McLogan, Director of SHEQ at McAleer and Rushe and Chair of the CEF Health & Safety committee said: “I think we achieved the committee’s aim of getting companies discussing important areas of health and safety. Providing the resource packs online made it easy for companies to get involved and they will continue to be a valuable resource for CEF members. McAleer & Rushe rolled out the initiative on all our sites across the UK and the feedback was excellent. It’s important to engage staff in these discussions to make our sites safer places to work.”
