October is National Safe Work Month, and a good time to talk about our safety message, O.N.E. Safe Workplace.

“I will Own, Notice & Engage on safety in my role”.

Own, Notice & Engage are the core principals that have helped us to become one safe workplace. Central to our safety culture at Degnan, the message is simple, relatable, and has become part of the daily conversation by asking, are we a safe workplace, and, am I doing my part?

O.N.E. Safe Workplace is not just words. It is a visible, tangible and measurable commitment from everyone at Degnan to ensure workplace safety is our number one priority. It is our absolute commitment to the health and safety of our employees, subcontractors, customers, and community.

Degnan invited Kahi Puru to share his story with us on our WestConnex project at St Peters. His life-changing workplace injury stopped us all in our tracks, and drove home a message that will stick with us for a long, long time - a workplace injury impacts everyone around us, especially our families and loved ones, no matter the age or experience.

ONE Safe Workplace is a commitment to put safety over productivity and a promise from everyone involved in a Degnan project, that we'll be coming home.
