GIt was a pleasure to work alongside SEM Construction on the Scoil Mhuire Additional Accommodation Project at Moynalty. Their performance in Health and Safety was exceptional throughout the project. Statutory Health and Safety checks were consistently up to date, and overall compliance was excellent. It was clear that Health and Safety was a genuine priority on site, fully integrated into all aspects of the work. During my monthly unannounced visits, the standard of Health and Safety was always very good. Jonathan Cooney, Site Manager, was consistently professional and proactive. Any actions arising from my reports were promptly and fully closed out promptly.
