George Deane, the managing director of Deane Public Works being presented with the Health and Safety Award by Rhona Quinn, the president of the Construction Employers Federation
The commitment to health and safety by Local construction firm Deane Public Works, Killadeas, a leading civil engineering company with a reputation for excellence, has been recognised at the recent Construction Excellence Awards 2014 in Belfast with an award for Health and Safety.
A company spokesman said this was an excellent achievement for the company.
“It is evidence that we are firmly committed to managing occupational health, safety and welfare throughout all business operations and that we are willing to embrace change and introduce new initiatives within the construction industry to continually improve performance.”
He said the ‘Safe-T-Cert’ health and safety accreditation was firmly integrated into all operations of the business, with visible and active leadership from a dedicated health and safety manager and the senior management team.
John Armstrong, the Managing Director of the Construction Employers Federation (CEF) reported that construction output in Northern Ireland had fallen by, on average, 8% each year since 2007/08, with the loss of over 20,000 jobs.
He went on: “Against this challenging backdrop, I congratulate all the shortlisted finalists and, particularly the winners.
These companies are ambassadors for the construction industry both at home, and now increasingly abroad.
“It is the quality of their work that makes them stand out from the crowd.”
