The Construction Industry Federation (CIF) initiative will see construction companies holding 'toolbox talks', CPR training events and many other events across the country to educate staff about critical risks and highlight safety awareness.
The CIF said its safety campaign is a chance for the industry to work together to mitigate risks through awareness, preparedness, and education.
"There's nothing more important than protecting the health of those who work on our sites and projects," said Sean Downey, Director of Safety and Training at the Construction Industry Federation.
"Critical Risks are activities undertaken frequently that, if not controlled, could lead to significant injury or fatality.
"On-site risks include working at heights, operating heavy machinery and electrical work, alongside mental health and physical health," Mr Downey said.
"This year we have teamed up with the Irish Heart Foundation to promote heart health awareness at home and on-site. We’re asking construction companies to complete CPR training in their workplaces to equip staff with this lifesaving skill," he added.
