Originally formed in 1897, dhf has over 500 members and is the ‘go to’ place for technical advice and training which lends itself to raising the standards of the industry. We are regarded as the ‘Centre of Excellence’, with a network of professional staff members as well as external consultants that can provide support in all sectors, making us a single source for technical expertise, information, knowledge, advice, and practical help.
In Ireland, we support our industry sectors by actively participating in the development of European standards. We engage with relevant Irish authorities such as the Health & Safety Authority (HSA), Private Security Authority (PSA), the Health & Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI), Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) and Construction Industry Training Board Northern Ireland (CITB NI) to ensure ongoing compliance, safety, and quality across the industry.
