The construction industry is a high-risk industry and remains a matter of continued focus to the Authority. Dr. Sharon McGuinness, CEO of the Health and Safety Authority, recognises the importance of this Action Plan and the collaboration of all involved in its development stating that:
“The CSPAC member organisations as well as industry and employee stakeholder groups have utilised the knowledge, information and guidance available and worked together to make the sector a safer and healthier place of work. I know there is real commitment to improving safety and health on construction sites by all parties involved in the CSPAC and indeed the wider sector. The Authority remains committed to providing assistance and support to achieve these objectives. Our inspectors and wider teams have, and will continue, to work hard in conjunction with our many stakeholders to ensure that construction sites across the country are safe and healthy environments.”
