Health & Safety
Walker Construction has set out a roadmap to delivering net zero
Building Safely, Building Confidently
A well-trained workforce is our strongest line of defence. We invest in continuous training programmes that cover everything from manual handling and working at height to behavioural safety workshops and mental-health awareness.
We combine classroom learning, toolbox talks and on-site coaching, we keep safety front of mind and equip our teams with the skills and confidence to work safely every day.
We celebrate those who go above and beyond by presenting our monthly Safety Award. Reinforcing the positive actions that keep everyone on site safe.
Continuous Improvement & Innovation
In our dynamic industry, standing still is falling behind. We continuously review near-miss reports, incident data and industry developments to refine our procedures and introduce cutting-edge technologies. From digital hazard-identification tools to wearable sensors that monitor fatigue, Walker Construction is always exploring innovative solutions that raise the bar for health and safety.
Mental Health and Wellbeing Support
At Walker Construction, we recognise that mental health is as critical as physical safety. We’ve embedded mental health awareness into all our safety and training initiatives, providing:
-
Confidential Employee Assistance Programmes offering 24/7 support
-
Trained Mental Health First Aiders on every project
-
Regular wellbeing workshops covering stress management, resilience and work-life balance
-
