#SafetyReboot2026 Resources
12 December 2025 Industry Standards
CEF has released resources for the month long health and safety initiative, #SafetyReboot2026, taking place throughout January 2026. The aim of the initiative is to encourage construction companies to stop work for about 15 minutes, once a week throughout January, to take time to focus on key areas of health and safety.
The resources should be used to start conversation and interaction between the workforce on issues encountered everyday on site. The core resources include a question pack on each topic to encourage discussion and a discussion aid to assist the person facilitating the stoppage.
Posters for each topic have been developed to make the initiative more visible on site throughout January. Each poster also contains a QR code which links to the resource for that subject to make them easily accessible on site.
Companies are encouraged to get involved and to use these short stoppages as a time for staff and sub-contractors to really engage with each other on the important topics.
Make sure to use the hashtag #SafetyReboot2026 to share images and updates on how your company gets involved throughout January. As ever, this is a great opportunity to showcase how seriously construction companies in Northern Ireland take the health and safety of their workforces.
RESOURCES
The CEF Health & Safety Committee have selected weekly topics to be focussed on for the first three weeks of the initiative. Contractors can use the final week to choose a remaining topic that is relevant to their business.
