Construction Safety Week 2019 will run from Monday, 21st October up to, and including Friday 25th October. The theme for this year is ‘Healthy Workplaces Manage Dangerous Substances’.
Construction Safety Week is an opportunity to reflect on aspects of safety, health and overall wellbeing and to promote its importance throughout the workforce.
