. Caring for life’s journeys is an opportunity to promote business and motivate / attract a workforce . Families make great campaign partners! . The media can be an opportunity if the issue is framed correctly . The supply chain is under-consulted and under-utilized: they make excellent partners in safety campaigns . Fundamentally, contractors care and need to be consulted early and often on opportunities for health promotion

As health and safety practitioners, we need to raise attention of health issues today and be the catalysts for partnership-forming Co-operating to raise awareness in Europe
