Irish Construction Industry Partners Working For A Safer Workplace

About

The Construction Safety Partnership Advisory Committee
The industry, having gone through significant contraction in recent years, has turned the corner and is forecast to continue on a steady recovery pattern. The industry, in the future will comprise of even more micro and small contractors and self employed people. There is a supply of available, trained, and safety aware construction personnel to meet the emerging needs in the short term. Up skilling to meet the changing industry needs must be considered. With the introduction of new statutory duties on domestic clients in the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013 and grant support for work on home improvements and energy efficiency, the CSPAC has increased its focus on related risks and safety standards in repair, maintenance and improvement work.

With further education and training including construction apprenticeships, Safe Pass and the Construction Skills Certification Scheme overseen by SOLAS, the Further Education and Training Authority and the regional Education and Training Boards, there is a need for the industry to consider how best it can interact with the Statutory Bodies to ensure appropriate influence on education, training and safety based competencies for the industry.

The CSPAC continues to be wholly dependent on the dedication, input and resources of the member organisations. The bottom line for CSPAC is to recognise best practice and continue the drive to eliminate the occurrence of accidents in the construction industry.
