The week rounded off with a safety talk from Marian Deasy at Beacon Hospital, bringing another opportunity to reflect, learn and keep safety front of mind.
Through the campaignโs five themes: Critical Risks, Health and Wellbeing, Frontline Workers, Leadership, and Beyond Compliance - the message remains clear: getting the basics right, every day, helps keep everyone safe.
Thank you to our teams, subcontractors and guest speakers for their involvement. We look forward to building on this momentum in Week 2, as the campaign continues until 23 October.
