The health and safety sector continues to evolve, with organisations embedding robust practices to protect workers and optimise operational efficiency. Strategic investment in compliance, technology, and training is shaping a more resilient and safety-conscious industry.

Looking back to last year, ‘Takeda Ireland Wins Health & Safety Excellence Award – Manufacturing at Health & Safety Excellence Awards 2025’ showcases its innovative lockout tagout and hazardous energy programme. As the 2026 awards approach, companies are expected to deliver measurable impact, technological integration, and leadership in workforce safety.

In addition, ‘Boxcore expands to North America to improve construction site safety’ demonstrates the sector’s embrace of digital solutions for real-time compliance tracking and risk management. Platforms like this enable frontline teams to maintain consistent safety standards while streamlining administrative oversight across multiple sites.

On the other hand, ‘Pye-Barker Fire & Safety acquires Lowitt Alarms to expand life safety service’ reflects consolidation in fire and life safety services. The expansion strengthens operational coverage, ensuring regulatory compliance and workforce protection remain central to service delivery and community safety.

Explore the full insights across these initiatives to understand the strategic trends shaping health and safety today.
