Top construction sites and manufacturing plants will down tools on 18th April as the industry supports the ‘Stop! Make a Change’ initiative, working together to build a healthier, safer industry.
The Stop! Make a Change initiative was launched by the Civil Engineering Contractors Association last year.
Now, on 18th April 2017 something will happen that has never been seen before in the UK infrastructure sector.
Many building sites, offices and construction manufacturing facilities will fall silent as participating companies put the spotlight on improving workers safety, well being and help save lives.
Discussions and decisions made on the day will be shared through a guide published after the event. This will bring together best practice from clients, contractors and suppliers across the UK, working together to build a healthier, safer industry.

The companies involved will make commitments relating to 4 key health, safety and wellbeing topics:
