Health and safety
Our OHS safety management forum acts as a platform for sharing knowledge of best practices and producing information, guidance and news updates to members.
To manage health and safety in the workplace effectively requires adequate protective and preventative measures along with competent management and staff. It can be a challenge for employers to keep abreast of the most recent requirements under health and safety legislation but your Ibec membership gives you access to OHS professionals to help you do just that.
The health and safety information provided on this website aims to assist employers and in particular those persons appointed as the safety officer or co-ordinator to carry out their functions effectively.
Further information on specific topics can be found by navigating through the categories below or though our A to Z search.
If you can't find the answer to your question on our website you can send in your query to knowledgecentre@ibec.ie. This service is included in your Ibec membership.
