    Speaker for following sessions
    • 11:45 - 12:00 The safety journey and setbacks for the CPH Metro projects

      By introducing measures inspired by the oil & gas sector, the metro company has succeeded in a substantial reduction of the accident frequency rate on the metro projects.

      With these experiences as the basis for their new safety culture, the transformation has included safety courses for all levels of the organisation and other initiatives that commit management and contractors to develop a safety culture where everyone can go home safely every day. The changed focus on safety has had a tangible influence on safety performance on the metro projects. The construction of the new metro line to Sydhavnen has a remarkably lower accident frequency rate than the previous project - the Cityring - had at the same stage.
