Construction Section

Our main objective is to improve health and safety standards in the construction industry on the Isle of Man.

We aim to hold a minimum of four meetings a year on key safety issues in construction. Our meetings are open to anyone who can help improve safety in this high-risk sector. Non-IOSH members are always welcome.

Our focus is on promoting a practical approach to health and safety.
