Health & Safety, with Rory O’Connor and Helena Ryan

Season 2, Episode 7,   Jun 23, 2022, 04:05 PM

On this week's episode hosts Pat Moore and Aidan Power are looking at health and safety - both physical and mental. They chat to Helena Ryan, one of Ireland's most decorated safety advisors, and Managing Director at Cooga Safety Limited. She talks about what it takes to keep everyone safe on a site, what's going in on the field of health and safety, and about her time on DIY SOS.

Next, Rory O'Connor, creator of Rory's Stories and CIF Ambassador, talks about his experiences on building sites - first as a young labourer and then years later giving talks to tradespeople about mental health. He chats about his own mental health, how to look after yourself and your co-workers, and how things are changing for the better in the construction industry.
