Health and Safety Requirements in Construction Procurement (Formerly Buildsafe NI)

The aim of the Buildsafe-NI initiative was to eliminate deaths and substantially reduce injuries in the Northern Ireland construction industry.
To achieve this contractors, consultants (and their supply chains) tendering for public sector works contracts are required to satisfy the government construction client that they have the resources and competence to manage health and safety.
As a minimum, they must demonstrate that they are capable of meeting the requirements of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (NI) 2016 and other relevant regulations, approved codes of practice and recognised guidance.
