The Construction Workers Health Trust was founded in 1994 by the Construction Group of trade unions affiliated to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions.
The Trust is dedicated solely to the promotion of better health among construction workers by providing free on-site health screenings, raising awareness of health issues and promoting healthy lifestyles.
The Trust is funded by a small levy, paid by workers who are members of the Construction Workers Pension Scheme. The Trust operates as a stand alone organisation with its own Board of Trustees, its own General Manager and its own staff.
