Risk Assessments – Statutory Requirements
Sections 19 & 20 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 2005, oblige all employers and self-employed persons to prepare a Safety Statement based on “an identification of hazards and an assessment of the risks to safety and health at the place of work to which the safety statement relates”.
Why carry out Risk Assessments?
