Why the CEFNI Safety Reboot 2025 Matters for Northern Ireland’s Construction Industry.

Introduction
In 2025, the Construction Employers Federation Northern Ireland (CEFNI) has launched the Safety Reboot 2025 initiative, aiming to revolutionise health and safety practices across the construction sector. With a focus on fostering safer workplaces and reducing incident rates, this initiative is a game-changer for employers and workers alike.

At Health and Safety International (HASI), we recognise the importance of this movement and are excited to support the industry-wide push toward better safety standards. Let’s explore what the Safety Reboot 2025 means for the construction sector and how your business can benefit from getting involved.


What Is the Safety Reboot 2025?

The Safety Reboot 2025 is a comprehensive initiative designed to refocus efforts on workplace safety in the construction industry. By encouraging businesses to prioritise safety culture, adopt modern practices, and invest in training, the program seeks to create long-term improvements in health and safety compliance.

Key goals of the initiative include:

  • Reducing workplace accidents and injuries.
  • Promoting the adoption of new technologies for hazard identification and management.
  • Enhancing training opportunities for construction workers and site managers.
  • Encouraging a culture of accountability and proactive safety practices.

Why Is This Initiative Important?

The construction industry in Northern Ireland continues to face significant safety challenges. Despite advancements in regulations and equipment, incidents like falls, equipment misuse, and insufficient training remain common.

According to recent industry reports:

  • Falls from height are still the leading cause of construction site fatalities.
  • Manual handling injuries account for a significant portion of non-fatal incidents.
  • A lack of regular training contributes to unsafe practices across many sites.

By embracing the principles of the Safety Reboot 2025, businesses can help reduce these statistics and foster a safer, more productive workforce.
