Our Safety Priority
At HF, safety is always at the core of everything we do. Each month, we spotlight a key safety concern to raise awareness and enhance safety standards across our divisions. For February 2025, we are revisiting and reinforcing the key themes of on-site safety with a continued focus on manual handling, asbestos awareness, and working at height.
Effective risk management starts with comprehensive risk assessments. By systematically evaluating job sites and operations, we can proactively identify hazards and implement tailored strategies to mitigate risks. This month, we aim to reinforce the critical importance of keeping safety measures top of mind for all team members.

Falls from height remain one of the most significant risks in our industry. We can mitigate this with:
Our approach to safety goes beyond campaigns—it’s a continuous journey as we continually illustrate with our ISO45001 Accreditation. Regular toolbox talks foster open discussions about safety concerns and encourage sharing of best practices. Training programs are constantly reviewed and updated to meet evolving safety standards.
Additionally, we want to ensure that all team members have access to necessary PPE, from hard hats and safety glasses to harnesses and respirators, and provide guidance on their correct use. If you need new PPE or training on how to use them, do not be afraid to contact our health & safety team.
We believe a well-informed and equipped workforce is the strongest defence against workplace incidents. By focusing on the specific risks of manual handling, asbestos exposure and working at height, we empower our team to take charge of their safety.
Together, we strive for a harm-free workplace where everyone returns home safe and well at the end of each day. Let’s continue to work together, stay vigilant, and uphold our shared commitment to safety excellence and make 2025 our safest year yet!
