Occupational safety and well-being

Ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees and partners

A safe working day is the foundation of construction. It is important to us that everyone returns home healthy at the end of the day – and this also applies to our partners’ employees. Key elements of occupational safety include anticipation, consistent safety principles and clear site practices. Safe everyday work also supports well-being at work and long-term work ability.

How occupational safety and well-being are reflected in practice

We consider occupational safety as part of everyday work at construction sites, planning and cooperation with partners. The aim is to identify risks and workload early and prevent accidents and harmful situations before they occur.

In practice, this may include:

anticipating work phases and assessing risks before work starts
making safety observations and learning from them at construction sites
onboarding and shared safety practices for everyone working on sites
work environments and ways of working that support coping, competence development and long-term work ability

Example practice

In several projects, safety has been developed together with different parties. For example, in the Ring III (Helsinki region) rumble strip (road warning strip) pilot, solutions were sought to improve both site and surrounding traffic safety.

Monitoring and assessment

We monitor occupational safety through management site visits, safety observations, near-miss reports and accident frequency, among other indicators. Monitoring supports proactive safety work and continuous improvement.
