Synergi® in Construction

Construction is one of the most highly regulated industries with an array of legal rules and regulations to follow. The HSE-plan (health, safety and environment plan) is a construction manager’s most important tool to guarantee HSE compliance on the construction site.

In Norway, accidents within construction cost 1.5 billion NOK a year. The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority has calculated that every year work related injuries on construction sites in Norway amount to a loss of 4500 man-years. The socio-economic cost of these injuries goes up to 1.5 billion NOK.

“Skanska is the second biggest construction company in Norway, with around 4100 employees. Synergi® is the only integrated business solution I know that we can use to manage and reduce operational risk. It has definitely contributed to our falling rate of serious incidents. Now we are working on putting Synergi® into use in other countries where Skanska operates as well.”

Mr. Arild Berglund, HSE Manager

Synergi enables a more systematic way to safeguard safety. If the construction manager focuses on health, safety and environment and integrated HSE principles into the project then this leads to:

·       Less injuries and damage

·       Better job satisfaction and reduced sick-leave

·       Better general terms for the industry

·       Content contractors and employees

·       Safer completion

·       Positive publicity

·       Profitable projects
