What is this session about?

Join us for a Lunch 'n' Learn session with Matt Griffiths, Health Sector Director for Kier in the South West, as he delves into the often overlooked but critical aspects of Health & Safety and wellbeing in the construction industry. While Offsite construction is widely celebrated for its sustainability benefits and disruption reduction, the safety and mental well-being of construction workers are integral components that demand our attention.

Matt will shed light on how Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) can play a pivotal role in eliminating on-site risks, creating more pleasant work environments, and safeguarding the overall wellbeing of construction workers. With the construction industry grappling with a significant number of accidents and a mental health crisis, this session aims to address these pressing issues and demonstrate how MMC can be a transformative force.
