Some of the biggest names in the infrastructure sector have signed-up for the first ever UK-wide health & safety stand-down which is due to take place this spring.
Stop. Make a Change. is the brainchild of the Civil Engineering Contractors Association and the latest names to join up include Cheetham Hill Construction, Clancy Docwra, Farrans, Ferrovial Agroman, Galliford Try, Hochtief, M.B.Roche & Sons, McLaughlin & Harvey, Morrison Construction and Raymond Brown.
The event will take place on April 18 when companies involved will stop work to discuss four key health, safety and wellbeing topics – Mental health, plant safety, fatigue, and respiratory illness.
CECA chief executive Alasdair Reisner said: “It is fantastic that there has been such strong support from across the industry for Stop. Make a Change.
“When industry was developing the idea, it was recognised that we would be able to achieve the greatest impact if it was taken up widely, bringing best practice from clients, contractors and suppliers nationwide.
“We are looking forward to seeing what each organization is doing to drive change on each of the four topics, and are keen to share this as best practice later this year.”
