Holland Team
July 22, 2024Imagine this: Your next construction project in Dublin kicks off seamlessly. Contractors arrive ready to work, fully versed in Irish safety protocols like the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2019, and equipped with project-specific details for your site. No scrambling for paperwork, no delays due to missed training on Irish building regulations. This is the power of an online contractor onboarding programme, and EduSafe is your key to achieving it.

Cut Costs, Not Corners: Eliminate Onboarding Delays
Construction in Ireland thrives on efficiency. Traditional onboarding, riddled with paperwork and administrative burdens, slows you down. EduSafe’s online onboarding software automates compliance checks with Irish regulations, safety training specific to Irish construction standards, and site-specific instructions, freeing your team to focus on what matters most – building.
