Safety, Health and Wellbeing
Calendar 2025
The CIF has updated its Safety, Health and Wellbeing Calendar to address the key focus areas for construction in 2025.
The intent is to promote a high level of focus on essential site safety considerations, as perceived by the CIF Safety and Health Subcommittee. The calendar endeavours to provide an itinerary of key diary events for each calendar month to reflect national and international campaigns for safety, health and wellbeing. It must be acknowledged that the calendar is not rigid and may be amended to reflect developing issues or indeed targeted safety or health campaigns.

Lifting & Loading
The CIF Safety and Health Subcommittee has identified a need to improve lifting operations in the construction industry. The rationale behind this is in response to the current standard of training competency and the rising number of reported issues/incidents onsite relating to lifting operations. A CIF Lifting Operations Guidance Document (GN-25-01) is provided as a download option.
