Construction Workers Health Trust

Since 2004 the Construction Health Workers Trust (CWHT) have provided health checks for more than 75,000 Irish construction workers at their own workplaces. The CWHT uses the most up to date portable diagnostic equipment supplied by our partners HealthWatch. All of our test results are given to the worker on the spot. Every worker also receives a copy of our Good Health Booklet which gives an explanation of all test results.
The Construction Workers Health Trust was founded in 1994 by the Construction Group of unions affiliated to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. The Trust is dedicated solely to the promotion of better health and lifestyles among construction workers. The Trust is funded by a small levy, paid by workers who are members of the Construction Workers Pension Fund. 
 
The Trust operates as a stand alone unit with its own board of Trustees, its own Chief Executive Officer and its own full time, and part time staff.
