Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Role and Operation of the Health and Safety Authority: Discussion

9:30 am

Dr. Adrienne Duff:

Our mandate allows us to inspect with regard to staff, occupational health and safety issues. We look for risk assessments from hospital facilities to see if they are undertaking appropriate risk assessments and putting in adequate measures and controls to protect their staff from health and safety concerns. We speak to staff on the ground as well. We validate those risk assessments and the training they have been provided in their role.
