While the construction industry is never without risk, Bouygues Construction cannot accept that it is inevitable. We are committed to ensuring the health and safety of everyone present on our sites, and this is an absolute priority for the Group. Throughout all our operations, the requirement is the same - irrespective of time or place: “Zero Accident”.
Health and Safety Considerations at the Heart of Projects
In addition to this global policy, daily onsite safety routines help to anticipate and avoid risks. The main actions taken include: a morning warm-up, a safety briefing prior to starting a job, and the "STOP" rule, which means that work ceases on site in the event of any employee flagging up even a weak signal of a potentially hazardous situation.
The Group's Health and Safety approach is deployed across all our construction sites, premises, and subsidiaries, by means of a worldwide network of 500 prevention specialists. Field work supported by research and development actions has led to the emergence of digital tools, virtual reality, ergonomists and safety researchers.
"It is our duty to be exemplary in this respect everywhere we operate. It is our responsibility, towards our employees and all those who work on our operations, to ensure a serene and safe working environment. At the end of a day's work, everyone must be able to go back home in good shape. This ambition, to which the company attaches the greatest importance, has been embedded in our ADN since our inception. We seek to see it firmly anchored in everyone's minds and in all processes. "
Employee safety is of the utmost importance to Bouygues Construction. The group has a single, permanent policy on all its sites: ‘Zero Accidents.’
