Health and Safety Authority Construction Fatality Review - Protection measures for National Guild members

A recent review by the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) analysed 23 construction-related fatalities in Ireland between 2022 and 2024. The findings highlight a critical risk for smaller operations: 83% of these fatalities occurred on sites with four workers or fewer.
