Why is Safety in Construction Important?

 

The construction industry presents numerous hazards, making safety paramount. Implementing rigorous safety measures protects workers, fosters trust, and enhances project outcomes. 

 

Here's How:

 

• Reduced Injuries - Safe work environments prevent accidents and injuries.

• Increased Productivity - A safe workplace leads to fewer disruptions and higher productivity.

• Improved Project Outcomes - Fewer accidents translate to smoother project execution and better results.

 

The Shore Group's Commitment to Safety

 

Our VIRTUS LONDON7 Data Centre achievement highlights our focus on key safety areas:

 

• Workspace Housekeeping: We maintain clean and organised workspaces to minimise accidents and ensure efficient execution.

• Safe Handling of Deliveries: Through proper planning and training, we ensure safe deliveries by securing loads, using proper lifting techniques, and promoting safe handling procedures.

• Working at Height: Our team is trained on using scaffolding, ladders, and harnesses correctly. We also prioritise regular equipment inspections and maintenance.

• Use of Protective Equipment: We provide and train our team on using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like helmets, gloves, safety glasses, and high-visibility clothing.
