Safety Statements

One of the most common questions we receive is ‘What is a Safety Statement’. A Safety Statement is a written document which specifies the manner in which health and safety is to be secured and managed. Safety Statements are based on the identification of hazards risk assessments drawn up by or on behalf of the employer. Safety Statements are required by both employers and self-employed individuals in Ireland as part of Section 20 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005.  In Ireland, employers and self-employed persons are required under Section 20 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 to prepare a safety statement.  The Safety Statement must be kept up to date and must be communicated to staff in a form, manner and language which they understand.

At Business Safety we produce Safety Statements based on these risk assessments which are conducted on site at the place(s) of work. Your Safety Statements are drafted by us before being forwarded to you for review. Once amendments have been made, we provide you with a soft copy of the Safety Statement which you can edit and change as you wish.

 

To ensure compliance with health and safety legislation, Safety Statements are priced separately. If you are still wondering ‘What is a Safety Statement’ please call us on 0818 333 212, alternatively you can use our enquiry form above or email info@BusinessSafety.ie to discuss your requirements.
