Promoting health and safety at work

Our Vision for Health & Safety

Our Vision for Health and Safety was created from an internal, shared culture, in which Webuild management and employees have together endorsed their commitment.

A commitment to guiding principles which goes beyond a correct application of Health and Safety procedures and takes a responsible, wider approach of prevention and protection in professional and personal life.

Our principles of Health & Safety:

• Safety means Life, for us and for our loved ones
• Safety must be a duty for each one of us. It comes from following procedures, encouraging each one of us to intervene when safety may be compromised
• We want to become Safety Builders on the job every day to guarantee a safe future

Our commitment

Webuild prioritises the protection of Health and Safety at work and has always been committed to ensuring the protection and wellbeing of its employees and third parties, by adopting a prevention and protection system to all operational activities, both in its offices and on its construction sites.

An effective management of the aspects of health and safety at work is guaranteed on every construction site by dedicated staff, working to assess the risk, plan and implement training activities, actively involve all direct personnel and subcontractors and monitor all activities.

By using the Health and Safety at Work Management System, certified in compliance with the standard UNI EN ISO 45001, Webuild has achieved major results over the years, including raising considerable awareness among its employees on the topic of safety, a significant reduction in accidents at work, the prevention of industrial illnesses and a considerable reduction in insurance and compliance costs.

Each year, we continue to promote the importance of health and safety in the workplace by investing in staff training and raising their awareness.

La promozione della salute e della sicurezza sul lavoro è una priorità strategica, perseguita attraverso programmi strutturati di formazione e iniziative di sensibilizzazione rivolte a tutto il personale.

Nel periodo 2020-2024 abbiamo erogato oltre 2.800.000 ore di formazione in ambito salute e sicurezza, di cui nel solo 2024, 570.432 ore rivolte ai lavoratori diretti, sia a livello corporate che presso i nostri cantieri.

Tra le iniziative di promozione della salute avviate nel 2024, rientrano  anche iniziative volte a favorire stili di vita più salubri, come ad esempio il nuovo  Format di contenuti Wellbeing  dedicato ai dipendenti del Gruppo e le attività relative all’implementazione del Safety Builders Program, il programma che promuove una forte cultura organizzativa della Sicurezza che nel 2024 ha coinvolto 63 workshops e oltre 4.600 dipendenti tra Manager, Supervisor e lavoratori. 

Valyou Programme

The Valyou programme began with the aim of creating a shared culture of Health and Safety within the Group extended to all Webuild staff.

Valyou is a shared, cultural path with structured, integrated training and communication activities, involving 80,000 people in over 50 countries with the objective of creating Safety Builders.

“Valyou - Our Health and Safety Way” was launched by the CEO in December 2017 at the “Safety Builders Program – Kick-off meeting”, during which Top Management set out and signed Webuild's Health and Safety Vision, a symbol of the commitment of everyone in the Group.
