Michael O\u2019Connor, Mercury\u2019s Group EHS Director was recently interviewed by the Business Post, speaking about Mercury\u2019s dedication to the highest levels of safety and the efforts we are making to digitise our safety measures to ensure our processes are future-proof.<\/p>\n
Mercury is highly committed to innovation and our multi-disciplinary Digital Edge team are engaging in multiple live and trial processes across the group in key areas such as safety, quality and modern methods of construction.<\/p>\n
Michael provided insights into his career to date, how Mercury’s geo-resilience empowered us to operated throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and also spoke about how our\u00a0teams work with our clients and supply-chain partners to ensure compliance with the Mercury way, and local legislation across all of the jurisdictions in which we operate.<\/p>\n
\u2018Our people are what the industry is built on as they build it! We need to improve the communication loop to a point where a click of a button tells us there is a perceived unsafe act or condition that has been paused and needs review by EHS. Geo resilience is critical for all businesses and in Mercury our structure was a godsend during the pandemic.\u2019 \u2013 <\/em>Michael O\u2019Connor, Group EHS Director.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Michael O\u2019Connor was interviewed by the Business Post ahead of World Construction Safety Week 2021 and also featured as guest panelist at the CIF Health & Safety Summit 2021.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n
