Health and safety is more of a priority than ever at Bouygues Construction, and effective safety measures are becoming even more important across all our construction sites. In light of this development, Bouygues Construction University has launched a training programme for team leaders.
The initiative came from Philippe Bonnave, the company’s CEO and Philippe Villain, Director of Risk Prevention, Health and Safety. The training course will take place at the Challenger head office.
“Safety is our number one priority.”
Devised in partnership with Saint-Cyr Formation Continue and C. Avezzard Formation, the curriculum consists of a carefully designed safety course through which participants will learn the seven key responsibilities of a safety leader. They are as follows:
-Foreseeing and preparing
-Passing on instructions: understanding them, explaining them and ensuring that they are understood
-Stepping back, taking the role of a guardian and adjusting
-Stopping and correcting a situation that is non-compliant or hazardous, or taking action to have this situation corrected
-Being exemplary, in order to be obeyed and ensure support
-Congratulating and educating
-Providing feedback
In teams of eight, with each person taking their turn to play team leader, participants will be confronted with organisational uncertainties and will have to take part in the course’s workshops, complying with the general rules of the course and the operating procedures and instructions specific to each workshop. Continuous situational simulations (80% of training time) will enable participants to exercise their safety leadership and learn the methods and tools used to put into practice the seven key safety responsibilities that are vital on a construction site.
This training scheme will be undertaken by nearly 1,200 team leaders in France over the next three years, and it will be implemented internationally from 2017.
Plan BIM 2022, recently launched by Julien Denormandie, minister for Housing and Town Planning, aims to speed up the implementation of the BIM. Funding of 10 million euros has been allocated to the construction sector, SMEs in particular. So what role will big construction companies play in this?

A symbol of the relationship of trust created between both partners, this agreement underlines Bouygues Travaux Publics’ long-term commitment to supporting scientific culture and heritage […]
“Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed.” These famous words from Lavoisier became the motto of Brézillon which opened a contaminated soil transit, sorting and recovery platform in February.
The line between personal and professional life is increasingly blurred: more and more, a single space can be used for training, socialisation, and work. The omnipresence of the internet enables people to perform tasks remotely, and to combine different tasks. Today, people also give and seek feedback based on experiences. We receive advice from other […]
Tucked into the heart of the Lille metropolitan area, an extraordinary neighbourhood is taking shape. It’s a neighbourhood focused on its future inhabitants while honouring its past. Let’s explore this project built by Bouygues Bâtiment Nord Est, a company of Bouygues Construction.
In our town and cities, where vegetation is becoming increasingly scarce, how can we absorb carbon dioxide, claimed by scientists to be the number one cause of climate change? Imagine a material that could grow like trees by absorbing carbon dioxide!
For the past few months, our site workers haven’t been the only ones working on the L2 project. Graffiti artists have been expressing their creativity on freshly dried concrete, painting large frescoes on the structures of the future bypass. Art is being created behind the walls for the benefit of all in Marseille. Currently under […]
For some people, living in the countryside is synonymous with isolation and loneliness. The hamlet of Les Noés in Val-de-Reuil (Eure) proves the contrary: this environmentally friendly eco-neighbourhood promotes the individual and collective well-being of its residents on a daily basis.
