As one of Ireland’s only training providers capable of delivering fully tailored safety solutions, we worked closely with companies throughout the country to address their specific challenges. Our mission during CIF Safety Month was clear: equip workers with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to prioritise safety in their daily operations. Here’s a look at the key activities we delivered and their significance.
Delivering Tailored Safety Solutions
C.A.T & Genny Training with Rossmore Civils
Working around underground utilities is one of the most hazardous tasks on construction sites. To minimise risks, we partnered with Rossmore Civils to deliver Location and Avoidance of Underground Services training using C.A.T & Genny equipment. This tailored program emphasised practical, site-specific applications, helping workers identify and avoid buried cables and pipelines.
By customising the training to the actual challenges faced on-site, we ensured that workers left not just with theoretical knowledge but with hands-on skills that could prevent costly and potentially life-threatening incidents.
Confined Space Training: Comprehensive and Customised
Confined spaces present hidden dangers that demand both expertise and vigilance. Throughout CIF safety month, we offered bespoke Confined Space Training seminars tailored to the unique environments and requirements of our clients.
- Mobile Unit Training with Rossmore Civils at Glenveagh Properties: Leveraging our mobile training unit, we brought confined space education directly to workers, delivering real-world scenarios in a controlled environment. Gas detection, safe entry protocols, and emergency response were all tailored to the specific risks present on-site.
- On-site Training with Walls Construction at Diageo’s Project Black: This high-profile project required specialised knowledge to deliver key information to suit the complexities of working in confined spaces in a brewery construction site. By aligning our content with the site’s unique conditions, we ensured workers were well-prepared to navigate confined spaces safely and effectively.
Our ability to customise these sessions reflects our commitment to empowering workers with tools and knowledge that directly address the challenges they face, fostering a proactive approach to safety.
Excavation and Underground Services Training
Excavation remains one of the highest-risk activities in construction, but with proper preparation, those risks can be significantly reduced. On the Cairn Homes site in Dublin, we worked with Rossmore Civils to deliver tailored training focused on excavation and underground services.
From hazard identification to teamwork strategies, this seminar provided a comprehensive look at how to safely execute excavation projects while avoiding utility strikes. By tailoring the training to the site’s specific layout and conditions, we ensured workers were prepared to manage risks effectively.
Excavation Safety with Vision Contracting
Our collaboration with Vision Contracting highlighted the importance of advanced planning and expertise in excavation safety. We delivered a customised seminar on Excavation Safety, Trench Support, and Construction Plant Safety Zones, covering topics such as trench shoring, ground stability, and equipment operation.
Tailoring this seminar to Vision Contracting’s operations ensured that participants gained actionable insights that were immediately relevant to their daily work. This personalised approach made the day both impactful and practical, reinforcing our reputation as a go-to provider for bespoke safety solutions.
Why Tailored Safety Training Matters
As one of Ireland’s only training providers offering fully tailored safety programmes, we understand that no two projects are alike. The risks faced on a brewery construction site differ significantly from those encountered during housing developments or large-scale excavation works. By tailoring our training to the specific needs of each client, we ensure that safety practices are not just theoretical but immediately applicable and effective.
Reflections on CIF Safety Month
CIF Safety Month is a valuable opportunity to champion safety across the construction industry. It’s a time to reflect on what has been achieved and to identify areas where we can continue to improve. Our work throughout October demonstrated the importance of collaboration, customization, and a proactive approach to safety.
From C.A.T & Genny training to advanced excavation safety programmes, we delivered solutions that met the unique needs of our clients, helping to create safer work environments. These initiatives reinforced our commitment to driving meaningful change in how safety is approached across Ireland.
Looking Ahead
Safety is not just a priority for October; it is a year-round commitment. The relationships we built with clients such as Rossmore Civils, Walls Construction, and Vision Contracting during CIF Safety Month are a testament to the power of tailored solutions in achieving safer worksites.
As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to delivering training that anticipates and addresses the evolving challenges of the construction industry. Whether through confined space education, excavation safety programmes, or any of our other offerings, we are here to ensure that every worker has the tools they need to go home safely at the end of the day.
