January is a key reset point for construction businesses in Omagh and the wider Fermanagh and Omagh area. As sites return to full pace after the Christmas break, it’s a timely moment to refocus on keeping people safe, healthy and supported at work.
Safety Reboot is the annual health and safety initiative led by the Construction Employers Federation (CEF). The industry-wide programme encourages construction firms to dedicate around 15 minutes each week throughout January to revisiting essential health and safety priorities.
For Omagh-based contractors, sub-contractors and site managers, these short sessions offer a practical way to re-engage teams, refresh awareness of key risks, and set expectations for the year ahead – without impacting productivity or project timelines.
Weekly focus areas
Safety Reboot is built around weekly themes, helping local sites concentrate on one priority at a time:
-
Week 1 – Site Re-induction
A chance to remind teams of site rules, procedures and responsibilities as everyone settles back into routine. -
Week 2 – Working at Height
Addressing one of the most common and serious risks on local construction sites. -
Week 3 – Mental Health and Wellbeing
Encouraging open conversations around stress, wellbeing and support in a demanding industry. -
Week 4 – Your Company: You Choose
Giving Omagh employers the flexibility to focus on a topic most relevant to their own workforce or current projects.
Practical resources for local sites
CEF provides easy-to-use Safety Reboot resources covering 11 core health and safety topics, all accessible online. QR codes allow instant access on site, making it straightforward to run quick toolbox talks or brief stoppages during the working day.
For the construction sector in Omagh, Safety Reboot is a simple but effective way to strengthen safety culture, support mental wellbeing, and show a clear commitment to protecting workers and colleagues as the new year gets underway.
