Health and Safety

Health and safety in the workplace has become greatly regulated during recent years. It is overseen by the Health & Safety Authority (HSA). Ensuring compliance with the increasing number of regulations is a growing concern to businesses at all levels. Non-compliance can have serious consequences for an employer. Inspections by the HSA can lead to them issuing enforcement notices to employers and in some cases to a workplace being closed down by order of the Court.

Therefore it is paramount that you have experienced specialist lawyers advising you on every step to ensure you are complying with all existing and new legislation in this dynamic area of law. We will guide you on how best to implement the regulations and advise you during routine visits and on the possible implementation of HSA recommendations.
