The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has launched a short, interactive on-line course titled ‘An Introduction to Construction Safety for Small Contractors and the Self-Employed’. The course has been developed by the HSA with the support of the Construction Industry Federation (CIF), in order to provide relevant health and safety information to small construction contractors and to raise awareness of the importance of occupational safety, health and welfare in construction. The 30-minute course is free and can be accessed through the Authority’s e-learning portal, http://hsalearning.ie. The course is aimed at construction contractors: in particular small contractors and the self-employed. It is also suitable for employers and employees working in the construction sector, key duty holders, or those employing small contractors to carry out work.

A new website that addresses workplace health and wellbeing was launched on October 26^th as part of the Construction Safety week in 2017. Building on previous European and Irish work, it addresses all of the ways which worker health can impact on the individual employee and on the workplace. It organises material on health and safety, occupational health, workplace health promotion and return to work.

The website is being built by the Work Research Centre, it will comprehensively address these issues over the coming months. It will draw on the best research and practice from across Europe and beyond and will give users an integrated overview of key developments as well as providing access to a huge range of material to improve workplace health and wellbeing.
