Welcome

Dear colleagues,

on behalf of ARGE H53 and BBT SE, I warmly welcome you to this Safety Day. We are very pleased that so many of us could come together today around this topic.

Our task is great.
Our site is huge.
Our safety is IMPORTANT.

Today is about making ourselves aware of how important each one of us is.

We are all working to bring this project to a successful completion. Together we have already achieved a great deal, and at the same time so much still lies ahead of us. Together means, in concrete terms, that people from 21 nations are working on this project and carry out countless individual tasks day after day.

Together – with each one of these tasks – we connect the whole of Europe.

The great goal of connecting Europe together, healthily and safely, can only succeed if we are strong as a team,

if WE look after US,

if YOU look after YOURSELF!

That is exactly why we are here today. It is about every single person.

Remember: you are important for this project.

You are important for your team.

You are important for your friends and family who are waiting for you at home.

Let us take care of our physical and mental health. The 10 stations we have prepared for you on the topic of safety are about refreshing your knowledge and learning something new. Ask questions, take an active part.

Thank you for your dedication!
