Description
Under section 20 of the Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, all employers must prepare a written Safety Statement for their company. This document demonstrates your commitment to the safety, health, and welfare of employees by effectively managing workplace risks and hazards. Each Safety Statement is unique and tailored to the specific needs of the company. It must be reviewed periodically—at least annually, whenever significant changes occur, or after Risk Assessments that impact safety and health—to ensure compliance with current legislation.
Safety statements are based on Risk Assessment, with the primary goal of preventing injuries and illnesses. Accidents and health issues can devastate lives and disrupt business operations, leading to lost productivity, damaged machinery, increased insurance costs, and potential legal actions. While Risk Assessments and Safety Statements alone cannot prevent all accidents, they are essential in significantly reducing their likelihood.
Company leaders, including Directors and Senior Managers, have a duty to ensure their organisations possess a comprehensive Safety Statement, as they are personally responsible for any violations of workplace health and safety regulations under their oversight. By maintaining compliance, they not only safeguard employee well-being but also protect against legal repercussions.
