Introduction

Stop. Make a Change 2020 (SMAC-20) is a public awareness campaign designed for members of the construction industry - especially those affected by Covid-19 - to re-engage with their own health, safety and wellbeing.

The programme was first launched in April 2017 to drive improved health, safety and wellbeing in the UK infrastructure construction sector. In the past, numerous organisations of all sizes temporarily stopped work to participate in SMAC sessions.

Campaign specifics

The event runs from 10 October until Friday 23 October 2020. Organisations of any size can participate, whether they are Tier 1 contractors or SME service providers within the supply chain.

It is being organised by Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) along with Cancer Research UK (for additional cancer specific support) and Mates in Mind (for additional mental health and wellbeing support). A series of 'Conversation Starter' kits has been prepared to help encourage discussions around difficult subject areas. These kits act as the starting point for SMAC-20 and their usage is explained in the SMAC-20 Introductory Notes.

Topics related to health and safety include:

Respiratory Health

People Plant Interface

Access & Egress

Electrical Installations

include downloadable tools such as infographics, checklists, tips, factsheets and ideas for creating a mentally healthy workplace.
