Managing infrastructure safety requires long-term focus

In complex infrastructure environments, a commitment to safety must be lived every day in order to provide a safe workplace, write Shannon O’Keeffe, Director, Social Sustainability, William Phillips and Nicholas Rivera, Senior Associates, Asset Management at IFM Investors

This is important because infrastructure environments typically involve interaction between a combination of large civil structures, operating equipment, transportation and a range of people – workers, customers, suppliers, tenants, visitors, and community members. For IFM, the safety and wellbeing of people is one of our most important obligations and underpins long-term potential value creation in our assets. Therefore, in complex infrastructure environments, like the ones IFM assets operate in, our commitment to safety must be lived every day.
