Collen celebrated a significant milestone at our Power Plant project in West Dublin where our team and supply chain partners recently celebrated 500,000 Lost Time Incident free hours.   This is testament to our commitment at Collen to prioritising safety in every project. Every hour represents the dedication and vigilance and shared responsibility within our teams.   #SafetyFirst #TeamCollen #Milestone

This year’s theme for World Quality Week 2024 is “From Compliance to Performance”. At Collen, we are highlighting the importance of quality management in today’s fast-paced environment. We aim to go beyond meeting standards, focusing on driving higher performance through proactive quality practices. Throughout the week, Collen will host workshops and demonstrations companywide, to showcase how quality principles strengthen resilience and foster sustainable success. #WorldQualityWeek #CollenQuality

As a show of commitment to corporate social responsibility, Collen’s Executive Management Team partnered with FoodCloud to help salvage surplus produce from local farms. They donned their wellies to participate in Gleaning - the ancient act of manually collecting remaining crops from farmers' fields after the fields have been commercially harvested, or when it is not economically profitable to harvest. They rescued an impressive 330kg of fresh vegetables that will now reach those who need it most in our community. A huge thank you to FoodCloud for organising this impactful initiative and for their continuous work in fighting food waste while supporting our community and helping to create a more sustainable future.

As we conclude the Construction Industry Federation (CIF)'s Construction Safety Campaign, Collen extends sincere thanks to our staff, project teams, and subcontractors for their commitment and active engagement over the past two weeks. Their ongoing dedication to fostering a culture of safety has been essential to the campaign’s success.   With the 2024 theme, “Focus on Critical Risks,” Collen’s Occupational Health & Safety Management System reinforces adherence to safety protocols, ensuring that our workforce is well-informed of critical risks at every stage of a project. This campaign has provided a valuable opportunity to reaffirm that, at Collen, safety always comes first.   Take a moment to watch this short video highlighting key safety initiatives from Construction Safety Campaign. #CIFSafetyWeek #CriticalRisks #ConstructionSafety #WorkplaceWellbeing #CollenSafety #SafetyFirst #RiskManagement

As part of the Construction Industry Federation (CIF)'s Annual Safety Campaign, Collen held a number of safety initiatives last week. The week began with a focus on heart health and CPR training. On Tuesday, the sites conducted blind spot and MEWP rescue demonstrations, which provided valuable safety insights.   Our teams engaged in Arc Flash PPE Safety Awareness Training and a medical emergency response demonstration. Thursday’s sessions included a Take 5 with Shane Lyons from GNS Fitness, as well as training on safe lifting, lithium-ion battery safety, and confined space rescue demonstrations.   On Friday, the site teams participated in a Stretch and Flex session, a Stop the Drop presentation, and an SPA workshop. Collen remains committed to maintaining a safe working environment for all.   #ConstructionSafety #SafetyFirst #CollenSafety #CIFSafetyCampaign
