Celebrating Pride Month

To celebrate Pride Month, we hosted Pride-themed coffee mornings across our construction sites and offices to promote diversity and inclusion.

PJ Hegarty is steadfast in its commitment to building a more inclusive workplace for all our employees and creating an environment where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work. 🌈

Lighthouse Construction #MakeItVisible Campaign

Last week at our Waterfront project in Dublin, we welcomed Dale and Ray from the Lighthouse Club as part of the #MakeitVisible campaign.

Dale and Ray delivered two impactful talks on our site. They shared personal stories about their mental health journeys and the importance of recognising and supporting others who may need help by referring them to the Lighthouse charity. Their stories shed light on the challenges people face within the industry and emphasised the vital support available through the charity for industry members and their families.

The UV Index

Our EHS and site team from West Pharma collaborated with the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) to deliver a strong message on sun protection for all outdoor workers and employers this summer. The HSA is urging employers and employees nationwide to take proactive measures to protect themselves from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Employees are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their sun safety by:

  • Wearing protective gear
  • Using sunscreen
  • Seeking shade
  • Staying hydrated
