PJ Hegarty & Sons

This week, we’ve continued to spotlight critical risk awareness with one of our focused topics being hand safety – an essential part of our daily routines. Our Project Manager, Gary, shared a powerful story with the team. Back in 2011, while working on a fishing trawler, he suffered a serious hand injury. His story isn’t just about physical recovery but sheds light on the mental and financial toll an injury can take on you and your loved ones. Our hands are constantly in use, from gripping a tool to typing on a keyboard or using a phone. Let’s make sure we’re always protecting them by: ✅ Using the right equipment ✅ Following proper safety procedures ✅ Keeping hands out of the “line of fire” #HandSafety #CIFSafety24 #criticalrisks #pjhegartysafety #buildingpartnerships

At PJ Hegarty, health and safety goes beyond our construction sites. This October, we proudly participated in the Irish Heart Foundation Hands for Life programme. Did you know 13 people die from cardiac arrest every day? CPR can double the chances of survival, and through this vital programme, free CPR training is being offered to 100,000 people across Ireland. Whether at work or home, knowing these life-saving skills could make all the difference. Training courses will take place in local community centres, clubs, and libraries across Ireland over the next two years. The training course takes just under one hour to complete, and attendees will learn: • How to recognise a cardiac arrest • How to perform compressions • How to use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) • How to respond to a choking emergency • How to recognise a stroke For more information and to sign up for a free Hands for Life training course in your area, visit www.HandsForLife.ie. PJ Hegarty is committed to promoting a healthy lifestyle and ensuring our people know how to respond to a health emergency. #handsforlife #CIFSafety24 #criticalrisks #pjhegartysafety #buildingpartnerships

Yesterday, as part of the CIF Safety Campaign 2024, we were honoured to host Marian Deasy as she shared the heartbreaking story of her son Lorcan, who tragically lost his life falling from a height in his workplace in 2018. Marian’s story is a stark reminder of the importance of workplace safety, especially when working at heights. Marian’s words resonated with us all: “That attitude of ‘ah sure it’ll be alright’ cannot be accepted.” Working at height poses one of the most significant risks on any construction site and by correctly mitigating for work at height risks, we can ensure everyone gets home safe, every day. #CIFSafety24 #ConstructionSafetyCampaign #PJHegartySafety #BuildingPartnerships Construction Industry Federation (CIF)
