Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Amendment) Bill 2020: Discussion
Dr. Sharon McGuinness:
The burden is to report it and go online, as would be the case with an accident. We have a system in place for that under the biological agents regulation. We have allowed people to report issues in as streamlined a manner as possible. Again, they would have to get all of that detail together and put it in one place. The driver for anybody in the midst of an outbreak or case of Covid in a worker is to suppress and prevent the further spread, not just in the workplace but also in the community.
