🏗️ “People talk about common sense in the industry – I don't think common sense exists until you create it”
In episode 7 of the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) Construction Safety Campaign 2025 podcast, Director of Safety, Education & Training, Sean Downey, joins Brian Foskin, Group EHS Director with Dornan Engineering in Dornan HQ in Co. Cork.
Brian discusses the company-wide training matrix, built during the pandemic, and how they track compliance; as training goes up, accidents go down. To cut falls from height they use modular & offsite work, scaffold high-work corridors over MEWPs, and telematics/secondary guarding while keeping operators accountable.
