This week, John Ladet tells us about the day-to-day life of a Safety Officer and the importance of taking all necessary safety precautions on construction sites. 

Safety culture is a top priority for Equans—so much so that safety officers have the authority to halt a task or a job site to ensure employee safety.

 “When you have to halt a construction site, it might cause some grumbling in the moment. But looking back, when you lay everything out clearly, you realize it was the right decision to make. You have to be able to say ‘Stop’ before exposing yourself to risks you can’t control. ”
