- ‘Rethinking Safety through Inclusion + Wellbeing’ (I+W) is our holistic approach to physical and psychological health and safety – addressing the unique risk factors in construction. It also promotes a culture where everyone feels included, no matter what role they play. Everyone has a voice and should feel empowered to share it.
- We place our people at the heart of health and safety decision making, with a focus on understanding successful health and safety performance and the many things which go right. I+W challenges us to move beyond traditional health and safety practices and measures. I+W requires all H&S professionals to focus away from traditional practices and towards being challenging and curious and being actively involved in hosting, coaching, mentoring and engagement.
