PRESS RELEASE Malta Occupational Safety and Health Practitioners Association (MOSHPA) Commends the Issuing of Legal Notice 184 of 2024: Mason's License Regulations, 2024, and Calls for Further Clarifications on Training Standards Valletta, Malta – August 8, 2024 – The Malta Occupational Safety and Health Practitioners Association (MOSHPA) welcomes and commends the recent enactment of Legal Notice 184 of 2024, known as the Mason's License Regulations, 2024, under the Laws of Malta. This landmark legislation represents a significant advancement in promoting safety, professionalism, and accountability within the building and construction industry. The Mason's License Regulations, 2024, establish a mandatory licensing framework for masons, ensuring that individuals engaged in this vital trade possess the necessary skills, qualifications, and commitment to safety standards. A key feature of this legislation is the requirement for continuous personal development and retraining every two years. This ongoing education is crucial in keeping masons updated with the latest industry practices, safety protocols, and technological advancements, thereby fostering a culture of continuous improvement and excellence. However, while MOSHPA applauds the inclusion of mandatory training and retraining, we urge the authorities to further clarify and bolster the legislation by specifying the levels of training required. The current wording, which includes phrases such as "sufficient knowledge," is too vague and open to interpretation. To ensure the highest standards of safety and quality, it is essential that the legislation clearly defines the specific levels of training and knowledge that must be attained. This will ensure consistent, measurable, and enforceable standards across the industry. MOSHPA recognizes the importance of these regulations and calls for similar regulatory frameworks to be extended to other trades within the building and construction industry. Professions such as tile layers, plumbers, carpenters, and lift installers also play essential roles in maintaining safety and quality in construction projects. Implementing licensing and regulatory measures across all trades will contribute to a more cohesive and secure industry. While the Mason's License Regulations are a commendable start, comprehensive safety and quality in construction require a holistic approach. It is imperative that all trades are held to consistent standards of training, certification, and safety compliance. MOSHPA is committed to working alongside government authorities and industry stakeholders to develop and implement these crucial regulations. MOSHPA remains dedicated to advocating for the health and safety of all workers in Malta. Through continued efforts to regulate and license all trades within the construction industry, we can achieve a safer, more professional, and resilient sector.

Construction Market Intelligence | Northern Ireland Q2 2024 There is growing optimism in Northern Ireland’s construction sector following the restoration of devolved government, according to Construction Market Intelligence, the digital publication from RLB incorporating our quarterly tender price forecast. In the Q2 2024 UK edition, we report that there are still concerns in the market over the impact of inflationary costs on tender prices. In the long term, the re-establishment of the power-sharing Northern Ireland Executive should boost spending on public sector projects, which is likely to attract growing interest from contractors and make tender pricing levels more competitive. Read the full report’s key findings and analysis here: https://lnkd.in/ezpB9zyf #RLB #ConstructionMarketIntelligence #TenderPriceForecast #PriceInflation #Construction #Cost #NorthernIreland
