European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC)
Mission Statement
Created in 1905, FIEC represents construction companies of all sizes (from the large international group to the small family business and craftsmen) carrying out all types of building and civil engineering activities via its 32 national Member Federations in 27 different countries (24 EU and Norway, Switzerland and Ukraine).
Our campaign pledge
Health and Safety at work is top priority for FIEC and digitalisation in construction is of direct concern for our industry where construction workers can face hard tasks.
Therefore, FIEC plans to contribute to making this campaign a joint success by promoting it throughout its network, via electronic means (i.e. social media), internal and social dialogue meetings, targeted presentations and communication on a regular basis.

Philip CRAMPTON
President
“Promoting health and safety at the workplace remains a permanent priority for construction companies. Over the past few years, we have observed an acceleration of the digital transition and this is generating a number of opportunities and challenges. We have no choice but to adapt our business models and this requires a strong commitment for the upskilling of our workforce. We also acknowledge that digitalisation at work is creating many opportunities, including in the field of health and safety where it can better help anticipating potential risks, relieve the workers from the hardest tasks and attract new profile of people in the profession. These issues are also a top priority in the framework of our Social Dialogue because the specificities of the construction process, in order to be effectively implemented on the worksites, require appropriate measures that need to be constantly assessed and improved jointly by employers and workers. In this respect the EU-OSHA Campaigns constitute a very useful framework, which allows us to continuously progress towards our goals and to ensure that no one is left behind, in particular SMEs.”
