Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion.
11:00 am
Mr. Des Crinion:
A point was made about health and safety. We are all very aware that the waste industry is a particularly dangerous industry in which to be involved. In the last number of years, there have been huge strides to increase the awareness of health and safety and how we look after our workers in the industry. I would definitely push that back because in the company in which I am involved, we have invested huge amounts of money, time and education to make the industry safer.
