Stop!

Take your time and assess the situation before you act.
The seconds before your next move are decisive!

Think!

Take a good look at the next work step, prepare it well and stand up for a safe work environment.

Act!

Act responsibly and work safely.

These three steps should encourage us to pause for a moment and consciously choose the right work steps. These seconds can decide whether everyone comes home to their families in good health in the evening, returns to work full of energy the next day or remains fit in their free time. That’s why we choose safety!

„1>2>3 Choose Safety“ stands for safety at work

More than 70,000 people – our own employees as well as those from our clients and partner companies – are at work for us around the world every day. Over 42,000 of them work at one of the more than 12,400 construction sites that we operate every year.

Here the safety and health of all involved must have top priority. For this reason, we have set ourselves a clear objective within the group: “Vision Zero” – to reduce the number of accidents and lost working hours to zero. So that this goal remains more than just a vision, the group-wide initiative “1>2>3 Choose Safety” was launched in 2018.

How we live safety: our measures

The group-wide umbrella initiative “1> 2> 3 Choose Safety” unites all topics and measures relating to safety and health. Since 2017, all activities throughout the group have been developed by a coordinator who manages the organisation and implementation of the topics of Safety, Health and Environment (SHE). The following measures are being implemented across the group:

Understanding and guidelines

Our shared understanding of how safety is lived within the group is reflected in the Vision Safety outline for all employees as well as for our partner companies and suppliers.
To manage the risks associated with the safety and health of employees, we use an occupational health and safety management system certified to OHSAS 18001 and/or SCC.

Training & aps

E-learning and regular refresher courses as well as specialist seminars are held throughout the group
Accident statistics, dashboards and lessons learned are used to generate learning effects
Since 2018, all inspections in Germany, Austria and Switzerland have been carried out with a safety app to document the on-site inspections and to be able to evaluate and process detailed analyses at any time. The app is used by both leadership employees and safety representatives. In addition to the assessment of construction sites, the evaluation of all partners and subcontractors is an important parameter in the analysis and documentation. The app will be rolled out progressively for other countries.
