Construction Safety Week is a national awareness campaign aimed at promoting positive safety and health amongst Ireland’s 159,000+ construction workers, clients, and industry stakeholders.  The goal is to generate engagement amongst CIF members and non-members alike, to further promote a culture of safety, health, and wellbeing in construction.

This year, the campaign will run over the entire month of October but at a pace that allows for more engagement, and staggered scheduling of activities.  The focus will be on supporting the Lighthouse Club’s Help Inside a Hard Hat campaign in the first week (from 10th Oct.), followed by 5-days’ focus on site safety, spread over two weeks (17-28th Oct.).

Key diary dates for Construction Safety Week 2022 are as follows:

10 – 14 October               Lighthouse Club Promotion
