For a week, 21 Ukrainians from various regions of their country participated in a health and safety training course generously provided by the Belgian paritarian fund Constructiv, with the support of the Belgian cooperation. The tripartite training, which included the BWI-affiliated Confederation of Ukrainian Builders, the building materials (PROFBUD), was held in Brussels from 17 to 22 November 2025.

The said training covered health and safety in a broad sense, with particular emphasis on prevention, collective and individual protective equipment, the risks of working at height, and asbestos removal, which was particularly important due to the war. A whole day was dedicated to practical exercises.

BWI expressed its satisfaction with its partnership with Constructiv and the Belgian cooperation and thanked the involvement of its Belgian affiliates, which is related to the work the global union carried out for more than three years on the reconstruction of Ukraine.

A video including photos and interviews will soon be online.
