Andrew English, Infrastructure Managing Director for Skanska said: "We're very grateful to all our speakers, demonstrators and delegates for contributing to this important day and in helping us to continually improve health, safety and wellbeing as an industry.

"It was an emotive and informative day and a particular thank you goes to two of our speakers who shared their powerful and emotional personal stories showing how the impact of time pressures, shortcuts and not prioritising safety can lead to losing a loved one.

"Our other talks and workshops covered topics around the benefits of having well-planned organised projects and how they create safer healthier environments. The inclusion and diversity workshop gave everyone the opportunity to discuss the impact of micro aggressions on individuals."
