Blue Monday may be branded as the most challenging day of the year, but mental wellbeing in the workplace is important every day. Supporting your team’s mental health is not just compassionate, it’s smart business.

Having a Mental Health First Aider on your team is a strategic advantage. They can recognise early signs of stress or mental health challenges, provide guidance, and help maintain a resilient and supportive workplace culture.

Small changes can lead to safer outcomes. Better lighting. More visible spaces. More opportunities for people to move, meet and look out for one another. That’s what initiatives like Ireland Lights Up 2026 are all about.

💡 In 2025, more than 1,000 GAA clubs across the country switched on their floodlights to brighten walking routes around their grounds, pitches and facilities, encouraging communities to get active in a safe, welcoming environment.

At KTC Safety, we know that good visibility, regular movement and social connection are more than lifestyle benefits. They are key factors in reducing risk, supporting mental wellbeing and helping to prevent accidents before they happen.

Real safety is often built on simple ideas done well. Brighter surroundings. Shared responsibility. Stronger communities.

We’re proud to support initiatives that put wellbeing and prevention first, and we wish everyone involved in Ireland Lights Up 2026 every success

Welcome back and Good Morning from KTC Safety!

For many people, today marks the first full return to work following the Christmas break. As we begin the year, it’s important to be mindful that icy conditions are present in many areas this morning, and taking a cautious approach will help ensure a safe start for everyone.

After time away, routines can take a little time to re-establish. When cold weather is added to the mix, everyday activities can present increased risk if attention slips. Fortunately, a few straightforward precautions can significantly reduce the likelihood of incidents.

As you start your day, please remember:

- Be mindful of icy surfaces on paths, steps, car parks, and site access points
- Allow extra time for journeys and drive at speeds appropriate to the conditions
- Take care when getting in and out of vehicles
- Wear footwear that provides good grip wherever possible
- Ease back into work activities and avoid rushing

Most winter-related incidents are preventable when we remain aware of our surroundings and take a measured approach. A safe start today helps set the standard for the year ahead.

Did you know that it’s estimated that up to 400 lung cancer cases every year in Ireland are linked to long-term past exposure to dangerous chemicals and dust? (HSE / Irish Cancer Society)

Dust may look harmless, but it can lead to:

• Long-term lung damage
• Increased cancer risk

💡 What you can do:
• Keep areas clean and well ventilated
• Wear a mask when cutting, sanding, or sweeping
