Construction Safety Week 2020
22/10/20
Catch Up on this year's Construction Safety Week Events!
Safety in construction is vital. It ensures tradespeople can concentrate on their work and conduct themselves comfortably without fear of accident or injury day after day. Aside from preventing harm to individuals, safe workplaces ensure construction can proceed as efficiently and profitably as possible. Awareness of safety measures and practices strengthens the entire sector.
At this time more consideration than ever must be put into safety as tradespeople continue to conduct essential work amidst the global pandemic.

Play Your Part
Workplace safety is everyone’s responsibility. We must conduct our work in a safe manner and be aware of hazards. We at Würth Ireland wanted to play our part at promoting workplace safety. We visited BAM Construction and distributed PPE to staff members on site.
We’re proud to keep workers safe with our range of quality personal protective equipment, and to support all companies and tradespeople in their efforts to raise awareness about safety in construction.
