Health & Safety

Safe worksites don't happen by chance. They're the result of careful planning, strong systems and a team that takes responsibility for every detail, ensuring every project is delivered safely and professionally.

Safety is built into every project

At Duncan Rawson, Health & Safety is more than meeting our legal obligations. It’s about creating a workplace where people look after each other, speak up when something doesn’t feel right, and take ownership of the environment around them.

Duncan Rawson is a proud member of Site Safe. All staff complete Site Safe training, with supervisors completing additional Site Safe Supervisor training.

We believe great safety outcomes come from strong leadership, clear communication, and everyone playing their part.

Our goal is simple: zero harm.

That means identifying risks before they become problems, continually improving the way we work, and creating a culture where safety is part of every decision we make.

A safer way of working means:

Detailed project-specific safety planning

Weekly site inspections and safety reviews

Daily pre-start meetings and regular toolbox talks

Hazard identification and proactive risk management

Ongoing training and support for our team and subcontractors

We use ThinkSafe, a digital Health & Safety management platform that helps us manage safety processes across every project.

From inspections and inductions to hazard reporting and compliance records, ThinkSafe gives our team real-time visibility and ensures important safety information is captured, communicated, and actioned.

By using technology to streamline our processes, we improve accountability, reduce administration, and keep our focus where it belongs: creating safer, better-managed construction sites.

Safety isn’t just a box to tick

Health & Safety is the responsibility of every person working on a Duncan Rawson project.

Overall responsibility sits with our leadership team, supported by a dedicated contracted Health & Safety Manager who provides specialist advice, project support, audits, and ongoing oversight.

Each project also has designated Safety Representatives, First Aiders, and Fire Wardens to ensure the right support is available on site.

This is a commitment we make to our people, our clients, our subcontractors, and the communities we work in.

Because at the end of every project, the most important thing we build is a workplace where everyone gets home safely.

We are also supported by
