"How can design ensure that everyone returns home 🏡 safe and well?" This question has been on the top of my mind, especially since Mace refreshed its Health, Safety, and Wellbeing branding a few weeks ago. I’ve been engaging in several conversations around it. Some were satisfying while others even provocative, with a lingering question: "What role does design play in safety when it's primarily about site management?" With 17 years immersed in design, I firmly believe design isn’t just about aesthetics or function of a building; it’s about proactive measures. Structural safety, fire and life safety, environmental regulations – these aren't mere check-boxes; they're embedded in the DNA of design, forming the front line of defense. Beyond mandatory requirements, good design crafts safe spaces by: 🔸 Choosing durable and non-hazardous materials 🔸 Prioritizing child safety and fall prevention with proper handrails, rounded edges, and suitable furniture 🔸 Designing for barrier-free movement through accessible and inclusive spaces 🔸 Implementing clear signages for danger zones, emergency exits and well-lit areas to eliminate dark zones 🔸 Strategically planning utilities to segregate high-risk zones and clear evacuation routes 🔸 Identifying potential hazards like tripping risks, slippery surfaces, olfactory concerns, and visual barriers Even in the design phase, visualizing the feasibility and safety of those executing the plans is crucial. I recall a few years back; we deliberated for months on a specific design element as a concern was raised about workers operating at heights. Such proactive engagements, design reviews, and involving relevant stakeholders epitomize the right ethos - Observe, Engage, Improve. For a comprehensive approach, adequate training and development and communication of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) at construction sites from top to bottom undoubtedly build a culture of safety. 👉👉 That’s how we contribute behind the scenes to ensure everyone goes home safe and well.

Today, we celebrate International Health & Safety Day, a holiday for all of us dedicated to workplace health and safety. For me, this day reminds us of the importance of everyone being able to return home safely and happily from work every day. That's the true essence of Health & Safety (H&S). I could talk about complex technologies, the latest trends in creating a safety culture, or supporting environmental initiatives. Instead, I want to emphasise that H&S is not just about grand plans and complex systems. It's about the small, everyday steps and personal responsibility each of us holds. Real safety begins with respect for oneself and others and manifests in common activities, such as safely climbing a ladder to hang decorations. It's in these seemingly minor activities that the key to a safe workplace lies, assembled bit by bit. Let's remember today that each of us can contribute to greater safety for everyone. Let's work together to build a safer working environment, where each of us has the opportunity to return home happily 🏠👷♂️. #InternationalHSDay #HealthAndSafety #SafeWorkplace #SafetyFirst #HSCulture #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyProfessionals #EverydaySafety #SafetyMatters #BackHomeSafely

Want to make employees happy and healthy? Let them bring their pet to work. A new article in the Journal of Management makes the case for domesticated animals at work. According to the study, two out of three American households have a pet, and a lot of these animals were adopted during the pandemic — when a lot of people were working from home. Now that they’re back at work, they feel torn between their pets at home and their jobs in an office. But the ability to bring said pets into work has a lot of benefits besides easing guilt. For one thing, inviting your employees’ pets in demonstrates that you care about their wellbeing. Harvard Business Review goes as far as to say: “Various studies we analyzed found that the mere presence of animals provides employees comfort, buffers against stress, enhances work engagement and improves work-life quality.” If you’re looking for a tangible benefit that can make a big difference in attracting new employees and making current employees happy, this is one to consider.

Today, on World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we underscore the importance of creating safe and healthy work environments. Let's all play our part in fostering a culture of safety and wellness at work. 🛠️💪 #WorkplaceSafety #ClaypooleGroup #HealthAndSafetyFirst #Safety #WeBuildYourVision
