Health & safety

Construction is a high-risk activity. Therefore, our single most important social responsibility is to ensure that everyone who works for Skanska returns home to their loved ones in the same condition that they were in when they left for work.

To this end, we have instigated a Safety Management System which is in line with OHSAS 18001, and continually strive to improve our safe systems of work in partnership with our trade contractors.

In support of this strategy, we have implemented monthly universal safety statistics collection, analysis and reporting. This is to ensure that lessons are learned and the potential for a repeat of any accident or incident is minimised.
