Safety Starts Here: Empowering Ireland’s Non-Native Workforce with Ireland T&T

Ireland’s workplaces are more diverse than ever. With a growing number of non-native speakers in construction and other key industries, ensuring everyone understands safety procedures is more important than ever.

The Challenge

“Workplace deaths at a record low, HSA report shows”
(Irish Times, July 2025)

According to the latest Health and Safety Authority (HSA) report, 2024 saw the lowest number of workplace fatalities in Ireland’s history—a testament to ongoing improvements in safety across construction, agriculture, and other high-risk sectors. The HSA’s focus on workplace inspections (over 11,600 in 2024) and better safety standards is driving real change. But as our workforce becomes increasingly multicultural, language barriers remain a challenge—especially on busy construction sites.

Why Multilingual Training Matters

With many construction workers and employees in high-risk sectors not speaking English as their first language, clear and accessible safety training is essential. Misunderstandings can lead to accidents, injuries, and costly downtime—risks no business or worker should face.

At Ireland T&T, we believe safety should never be lost in translation. That’s why we deliver all our accredited safety courses in over 10 languages, including Polish, Russian, Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, and more.
