One of Laing O’Rourke’s guiding principles is to ‘make safety personal and work responsibly’. Through committed leadership, clear expectations, and dialogue with all employees and business partners, we are creating an industry-leading health and safety culture.  

The health and safety of everyone involved in and affected by our operations is our number-one priority. It is central to the sustainability of the business.

We invest heavily in safety through personnel, processes and tools. We have created an environment that empowers people to place their personal safety and that of their colleagues above all other priorities.

Incident and Injury Free
Our Incident and Injury Free (IIF) programme was pioneered on Heathrow Terminal 5 and is now an industry standard.  

IIF represents a step-change in attitudes to safety. It focuses on making everyone more risk aware, underlining the personal responsibility we each have to ourselves and others.

Since its launch in 2005 we have invested £6.9m in IIF.
