Health & Safety at Work
Under Irish law, every worker has the right to a safe place of work and a safe system of work. Employers have a responsibility to protect their employees. Operating under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, the Health & Safety Authority is the body responsible in Ireland for ensuring health and safety at work in Ireland by promoting the welfare of employees at work.
Accidents at work in Ireland do occur when safety precautions are not taken. If an employer fails to comply with Health and Safety regulations and you are injured as a result, then you may be entitled to make an accident or personal injury compensation claim.
Employers’ obligations
All employers have to follow stringent Health & Safety Regulations and adhere to safety standards. This includes providing:
- Written safety statements in consultation with employees.
- Providing a safe place to work.
- Plans in the event of an emergency.
- Safe use of equipment.
- Training for the lifting and manual handling of loads.
- First aid facilities.
- Notification of Accidents.
