• All are reminded to desist from throwing cigarette butts, empty vapes and bottles on their balcony scaffolding

International Safety Week 2023

At Equans, our unwavering commitment to safety is in our Fundamentals; it's one of our must haves. 16-22 October was International Safety Week and was our moment to shine a spotlight on health and safety. This year, we focused on Fall Hazards, an area that resonates with every one of us, aligning with rule number four of Equans' 12 Golden Rules - We Work Safely - Prevent falls from height.

Workplace safety is at the heart of Equans' mission, and International Safety Week served as an annual reminder of this commitment. It's a week where every employee, regardless of their role, comes together to reaffirm their dedication to safety. It's not just about making safety a priority; it's about embracing safety as an integral part of our identity.

This year, we kicked off the week with webinars, and division-specific emails that followed throughout the week. This ensured that our teams were armed with the knowledge and tools needed to prevent accidents related to working at heights and falling objects.

Wednesday Walks

Our staff at Whytecliffe Road South and Cygnus Court incorporated the International Safety Week with 30 minutes walks on Wednesdays in the park to improve their health and wellbeing.
