We’re proud to share that one of our key partners, Mace, has officially achieved a major safety milestone at Heathrow Airport: one full year without a single RIDDOR incident. As part of the supply chain working across the airport’s ongoing projects, Design Rationale is thrilled to be part of this remarkable achievement. Over the past 12 months, more than 1.5 million man-hours have been safely completed across a day and night workforce, with activity taking place almost every weekend. The scale of work has grown significantly, with the number of operatives more than doubling - from 400 to nearly 900 - and over 100 new Mace staff joining the effort. Despite the challenges that come with such rapid growth, this team-wide commitment to health, safety, and wellbeing has remained front and centre. Mace will be recognising this accomplishment with a workforce stand-down event at the Renaissance to thank everyone involved for their continued dedication to safety. We’d like to extend our thanks to Mace for their leadership and recognition, and to all the teams, including our own, whose continued focus helps ensure that everyone goes home safe and well, every day.

At Design Rationale, we’re committed to creating environments where innovation and collaboration thrive - not just in our projects, but within the broader industry. That’s why we were proud to participate in a recent Wellbeing Cabin  initiative hosted by Fit for Work at a Wates Group project site in Westminster. The Wellbeing Cabin served as an interactive space where management and tradespeople could come together to connect, take a breather, and discuss important topics like mental health. With activities like a basketball competition and insightful happiness surveys, the event fostered openness and dialogue, strengthening the bond among the on-site workforce. We’re inspired by how the Wellbeing Cabin brought a diverse group of people together, providing a platform for meaningful conversations and support. The insights gathered from the happiness surveys will undoubtedly help drive positive change across the industry, and we’re excited to see the impact of this forward-thinking approach. We’d like to extend our thanks to Fit for Work for organizing such a valuable initiative, as well as to Wates Group for hosting it. A special shoutout to the fantastic efforts of Catherine Everett and Josh Heap, along with the collaboration of other subcontractors who made the day such a success. At Design Rationale, we recognize the importance of wellbeing initiatives in fostering a healthier, more engaged workforce. Participating in this event has reinforced our commitment to supporting these efforts in the future.
