Uncover the transformative power of pre-start meetings in the construction industry. Join David Maltman, Global HSE-Security Director, as he empowers Menard Asia teams to foster a safety, collaboration, and excellence culture, ensuring construction projects thrive under optimal conditions.

David Maltman, the esteemed Global HSE-Security Director of Menard Group, recently visited the Indonesia office for an insightful training and discussion session. The training program, attended by Menard Asia and Freyssinet Indonesia (our sister company) employees, focused on enhancing the understanding and implementation of “pre-start meetings” in the construction industry. This essential ritual empowers employees and ensures work is carried out efficiently and safely, specifically targeting construction projects.

The training program’s goal was to equip the attendees with the necessary tools and knowledge to conduct effective pre-start meetings independently. This enabled everyone to work under the best conditions and ensured that construction work was done correctly.

Soletanche Freyssinet, our parent company, a leading organization in the industry, is proud to re-launch this vital training program. The Pre-Start meeting, a proven tool for identifying and predicting changes in the workplace, has been an integral part of our organization for the past decade. We firmly believe in its significant contribution to safe work execution. As part of our unwavering commitment to health and safety, we aim to train over 2,000 site supervisors, foremen, and engineers by the end of 2023. This collective effort reflects our dedication to continuous health and safety progress, ensuring our workforce’s well-being and our valued clients’ satisfaction.

Pre-start meetings have proven crucial in maintaining a safe and productive work environment in the construction industry. David Maltman’s training program in the Menard Indonesia office emphasized the significance of these meetings to empower every team member. Moreover, this training also fosters a culture of responsibility and accountability. Attendees from Menard Asia and Freyssinet Indonesia, with their expertise in construction, actively participated in the program, highlighting the commitment of both companies to prioritize safety and efficiency in construction projects.

Pre-start meetings hold particular importance in the construction industry, where the risks and complexities of the work are unique. These meetings help our HSE and operational teams establish clear communication channels, set goals, address potential hazards, and ensure that work is executed correctly. By creating a dedicated space for construction workers to discuss and address any concerns before commencing work, pre-start meetings encourage proactive involvement, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among team members, ultimately enhancing construction safety.

At Menard Asia, we prioritize our employees’ and clients’ safety and well-being. We invest in comprehensive training programs to ensure our projects adhere to HSE standards. Our unwavering commitment to HSE compliance safeguards our dedicated workforce and enhances client satisfaction. We understand the importance of providing our clients with the peace of mind that their projects are handled with the utmost care and attention to safety.
