🔹 Episode Overview:

For decades, the construction industry has made physical safety a top priority. Over time, mental well-being has also been recognised as a critical part of workplace safety. But now, a new challenge is emerging—one that many construction businesses aren’t prepared for: Cyber Safety.

In this episode, we discuss the findings of our latest white paper on the evolution of safety culture in construction, revealing how cyber risks are becoming just as important as traditional workplace hazards. We’ll unpack:

✅ How health and safety evolved from a compliance burden to a core business value.

✅ The growing link between mental well-being and job site safety—and how stress can increase the risk of accidents.

✅ Why cyber threats (like ransomware, phishing, and invoice fraud) are now a critical risk to construction firms.

✅ How construction companies can apply lessons from traditional safety culture to build a strong cyber safety mindset.

We also introduce our 6-Point Cyber Safety Action Plan, a practical guide to help construction firms protect their people, projects, and profits from cyber threats.

🔹 Key Takeaways:

✔️ Cyber attacks are increasing in the construction industry, but most firms are unprepared.

✔️ Employees need to be trained to spot cyber threats just like they spot physical hazards.

✔️ Cyber safety should be integrated into daily briefings, safety reports, and leadership discussions.

✔️ The best way to avoid cyber attacks is to build a culture of cyber awareness.
