Pride In Construction 2025

Pride Month is a reminder that inclusion starts with action—especially in industries like construction, where progress still has ground to cover.

At SafeSite, we’re proud to support LGBTQ+ inclusion through our ONETeam philosophy—focusing on Teamwork, Environment, Accountability, and Mastery to drive respect and collaboration in everything we build.

Did you know:

• 3.2% of the UK population identify as LGBT+—that’s 1.5 million people.

• 35% of LGBT+ workers in construction feel their identity has limited career progression.

• 75% have hidden their identity at work due to fear of discrimination.

We believe every person deserves to be themselves at work, free from judgment or bias. From respecting pronouns to challenging outdated “banter,” building a truly inclusive culture benefits everyone—improving morale, retention, and reputation.
