Promoting health and safety at work
We continue to promote the importance of health and safety
Our Vision for Health & Safety
Our Vision for Health and Safety was created from an internal, shared culture, in which Webuild management and employees have together endorsed their commitment.
A commitment to guiding principles which goes beyond a correct application of Health and Safety procedures and takes a responsible, wider approach of prevention and protection in professional and personal life.
Our principles of Health & Safety:
- Safety means Life, for us and for our loved ones
- Safety must be a duty for each one of us. It comes from following procedures, encouraging each one of us to intervene when safety may be compromised
- We want to become Safety Builders on the job every day to guarantee a safe future
We contribute to advancing the SDGs with our constant Health&Safety commitment
Our commitment
Webuild prioritises the protection of Health and Safety at work and has always been committed to ensuring the protection and wellbeing of its employees and third parties, by adopting a prevention and protection system to all operational activities, both in its offices and on its construction sites.
An effective management of the aspects of health and safety at work is guaranteed on every construction site by dedicated staff, working to assess the risk, plan and implement training activities, actively involve all direct personnel and subcontractors and monitor all activities.
By using the Health and Safety at Work Management System, certified in compliance with the standard UNI EN ISO 45001, Webuild has achieved major results over the years, including raising considerable awareness among its employees on the topic of safety, a significant reduction in accidents at work, the prevention of industrial illnesses and a considerable reduction in insurance and compliance costs.
Each year, we continue to promote the importance of health and safety in the workplace by investing in staff training and raising their awareness.

Valyou: Our Health & Safety Way
I strongly believe in our ability and the leadership style we have shown over the years to carry off the most complex challenges in the world. I would like our new culture of Safety to permeate our entire community, so that our Group is acknowledged as global leader for the safety of its men and women
Valyou - Our Health and Safety Way
The roll-out of the Safety Builders Program, launched in December 2017, and continuously implemented in all new projects, aims to encourage a strong corporate safety culture, based on strengthening leadership abilities at all management levels.
A Safety Culture where everyone has the right and the responsibility to intervene, where there is no fear in speaking up. Speaking up is expected, both to correct unsafe behavior and to provide positive feedback on safe behaviour.
It is part of Webuild’s broader communication strategy, the “Valyou - Our Health and Safety Way” project, recognized in 2020 with Gold Award by RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents). As an integral part of the “Valyou – Our Health and Safety Way”, Webuild continues to promote its “Lifesaving Rules” a set of operating and management rules devised to integrate the cultural change process commenced with the Safety Builders Program and to encourage active involvement.
From 2020 to 2024, over 2.8 million training hours on occupational safety were provided. The Company’s main workplaces celebrate the World Day for Safety and Health at Work on 28th of April, starting from 2016 and in line with the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
