Safe Momentum
Safety leadership begins with the fundamentals, and this week’s stories highlight how revisiting core principles continues to strengthen workplace culture and performance across Europe. The Construction Industry Federation’s Back to Basics campaign, supported by the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF), is encouraging organisations across Ireland to renew their focus on work-at-height safety. In a sector defined by rapid change and modernisation, the initiative reinforces that consistency and attention to essential practices remain the true drivers of long-term safety. At the same time, Europe’s surge in PPE and workwear tenders worth over €100 million signals a renewed emphasis on worker protection and the systems that underpin compliance and trust. This growth reflects a wider movement across industries to align investment with wellbeing and performance outcomes. Recognition for Activ8 Solar Energies’ outstanding commitment to Health and Safety further illustrates the leader ship required to embed safety excellence into everyday operations. These developments reaffirm a simple yet enduring truth, that genuine progress in safety begins not with complexity, but with mastery of the basics.
