Construction Safety Partnership (Ireland)

Safety on our construction sites is the responsibility of everyone in the industry - developers, designers, builders and construction employees.  Substantial progress has been made in recent years but still too many workers have lost their lives or been injured in our industry. Continuous vigilance and full cooperation of all who work on or who visit construction sites is vital.

The CSP represents all major stakeholders in this industry and all participants are committed to improving health and safety performance based on a common goal of fewer accidents and a safer workplace.

To achieve this common aim, the Partnership has set itself 6 goals to be achieved between 2008 and 2010. Full implementation of these goals will help to further reduce the rate of serious accidents on our building and civil engineering sites.

Kevin Kelly, Chairman of the Partnership

Minister Dara Calleary T.D.'s message to the CSP

"You have been instrumental in significant sector-based health and safety initiatives that have been embraced by workers and management alike and which have proved effective in reducing the accident, injury and fatality statistics for the construction industry. In these very difficult times, it is even more important that we do whatever we can to make sure that health & safety does not lose priority in a mistaken attempt to achieve savings.  Your forum has an important role to play in spreading that message."
