The strategy brings together a wide range of industry partners and introduces a dedicated Health, Safety and Wellbeing Group which will oversee the strategy’s implementation, using data and research to track progress and report directly to the CLC Board.
A fireside chat helped set the tone for the strategy’s launch, led by Katy Dowding, President & CEO of Skanska UK who was joined by Minister Sarah Jones, Rick Brunt, and David Bucksley. The discussion focused on how collaboration and shared investment are essential to driving meaningful improvements in health, safety, and wellbeing across the UK construction industry.
Katy said:
“This strategy reflects our commitment to our people and future workforce. It’s a key step on our health, safety, and wellbeing journey — crucial for attracting and retaining talent.
"A healthier, safer, and more inclusive construction industry isn’t just vital for our teams, it’s fundamental to delivering the sustainable infrastructure society needs.”
