Comitted to Safety First
Implementing rigorous safety standards and protocols across every UK and Ireland project site.
Safety is Embedded in our Culture
An unwavering focus that drives our actions and delivers zero-harm environments.
At IIS Space, safety is not merely a priority; it is a fundamental value embedded in our operations. Our approach exceeds regulatory compliance, proactively shaping project delivery across all markets. This commitment is evidenced by our robust safety track record and a company wide culture that actively solicits input from every organisational level. We safeguard the well-being of our people, our clients, and the communities we serve, accepting nothing less than 100% safe delivery, everywhere we work, everyday.
“Our foremost principle is absolute safety. This commitment governs all our activities, ensuring a secure environment for every person and community we serve”.
— NICK FITZGERALD, Managing Director, IIS Space Ireland.
Zero Harm - Health and Safety Culture
We are committed to achieving a zero harm mindset by cultivating a proactive safety culture where risks are eliminated through systematic planning.
At IIS Space, the delivery of exceptional high-performance workplace solutions starts with an absolute commitment to health and safety. IIS Space is certified to NQA ISO 9001, 14001 and ISO 45001 standards providing assurance across Quality, Environmental, and Health & Safety Management. Our focus is the well-being of every person involved in the project lifecycle, from our colleagues on-site to our clients and their future building occupants. Our clear vision is simple. All site personnel return home safe and healthy every day. We operate on the foundational belief that all injuries and ill health are preventable.
Our philosophy is to design health and safety into all project phases, from initial client consultation and procurement of materials to site mobilisation and project handover. Safety is built into our processes for recruiting specialist teams, securing supply chains, and managing the live operational business.
Communication Built in: Through disciplined communication and accountability safety is an integral part of our daily operational rhythm. Safety is highlighted at the start of every project meeting, client review, and on-site gathering. These safety moments occur daily and ubiquitously across our sites.
Individual Accountability: Every IIS Space employee and contractor is required to clearly understand, formally acknowledge, and sign their health and safety responsibilities. We hold ourselves and our partners accountable to the highest standards.
Risk Mitigation: We allocate time and resources in comprehensive risk analysis to understand the specific hazards inherent in our work. We prioritise resources to actively manage the risks, always focusing on prevention at the point of work.
Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continually improving our safety performance through open dialogue and shared data, ensuring that every team member is committed to a common plan of action that sets industry standards.
Modelling Behaviour: We understand that exemplary safety behaviour must be learned, practiced, reinforced, and celebrated. Through our defined safety programmes, we ensure safe behaviours are consistently modelled, tested, and shared by leadership and specialist teams alike, recognising safety leadership and innovation through formal internal and external award programmes.
