The construction industry's Smart Helmets Together safety week has been organized twelve times already. Safety culture is developed through leadership. Responsibility and safety belong together, and everyone must be involved in developing safety, the week reminds us.
During Safety Week, RT member companies organize various events related to occupational well-being and safety at workplaces. They are intended to remind everyone that safety is a concern for everyone working in the workplace. The RT website has a lot of ready-made material to help you organize events. For example, organize a safety watch on moving around the construction site or take control of dust during Safety Week.
