Empowering safety at work and at home: Mercury launches 12 Days of Safety campaign
Today marks the beginning of Mercury’s annual 12 Days of Safety campaign which runs on our projects across Europe to reinforce our Work Safe, Home Safe ethos ahead of the holiday season.
Safety is at the bedrock of our delivery, training and processes and the Work Safe, Home Safe mindset is instilled in every individual, team, and rank throughout Mercury. The campaign promotes the commitment of all Mercury people to the highest levels of health and safety on site, and applying this mindset when it comes to safety at home over the festive period.
As part of the campaign our teams will take part in a number of practical demonstrations, toolbox talks, training sessions and presentations on site. The initiatives will focus on key reminders for ensuring the highest levels of safety are in place at work over the coming weeks and will also provide helpful tips and guidance for how to remain safe over the festive period at home, which is a time that can present challenges for many.
This year our EHS theme has been consistency. As we continue to deliver for our clients across expanding projects, sectors, and regions, our teams ensured our core EHS approach and processes remained the same, day in and day out.
Speaking ahead of this year’s 12 Days of Safety campaign launch, Michael O’Connor, Group Head of Safety commented “This year we have seen an outstanding EHS performance on our projects across Europe. It has been fantastic to witness the Mercury team buy in to our safety culture with accountability and commitment, and our EHS standards have remained excellent across every country and sector we operate in. I’d like to thank everyone for their continued dedication to the Work Safe, Home Safe ethos. Over the next few weeks our teams will be taking part in initiatives which emphasise how important it is to stay safe, not only at work, but also during the hustle and bustle of the festive period and to keep safety a priority at home, this time of year in particular.”
