Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Role and Operation of the Health and Safety Authority: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Mark Cullen:
The organisation will not know when we are coming back. There might be exceptions where we have to give notification, but the prohibition notices would be followed up because that is the high level of the enforcement. That is where there is a serious risk of injury likely to occur and that is why we would serve a prohibition notice. We would follow up on that and on improvement notices. Less so on the reports of inspections because then we are into the minor directions from the inspector. We follow up on all the significant high-level enforcement and the more serious pieces of enforcement.
