A new campaign has been launched to promote clean air practices on construction sites to reduce long term exposure to dust and contaminated air.
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) and the Construction Workers Health Trust have joined forces to launch the Clean Air Site Campaign which encourages construction sites to monitor air quality and use safe systems of work.
Where they do, construction companies can apply for a Clean Air Site Campaign flag to promote good practice.
