CIF Construction Safety Campaign 2024 Recap
We’re thrilled to share the success of the 2024 Construction Industry Federation (CIF) Safety Campaign, which concluded last Friday with a celebratory Close Out Event. Over the past two weeks, GEM Construction has been dedicated to reinforcing safety across our sites, fully embracing this year’s theme: “Focus on Critical Risk.” This campaign has been an opportunity to target and proactively address the safety risks most critical to our industry, reinforcing our commitment to a secure, healthy work environment for everyone.
Key highlights from the campaign included:
- Daily Toolbox Talks: Covering vital safety topics such as Respiratory Health, Safe Work at Heights, Heart Health, and Mobile Plant Safety, providing essential insights to our teams.
- Keynote Speech by Fergus Farrell: Fergus’s compelling talk detailed his personal experience of overcoming the physical and mental impacts of a workplace accident, emphasizing the importance of support within the construction community.
- On-Site Safety Demonstrations: Our teams engaged in live CPR/AED demonstrations led by iSafe Paramedic Trainers, eye safety workshops with Bolle Eyewear, and GPR/LUGS scanning demos by Survey Instrument Services.
- Health & Wellness Initiatives: Fruit deliveries across all sites encouraged healthy eating and supported workers’ well-being.
- Close Out Event: Each site marked the campaign’s conclusion with a complimentary breakfast for all workers, along with prizes to recognize outstanding dedication to safety.
We extend our gratitude to everyone who helped make the 2024 CIF Safety Campaign a success and to our sponsors for their invaluable support in championing safety.
