Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Role and Operation of the Health and Safety Authority: Discussion

9:30 am

Dr. Adrienne Duff:

It was not necessarily established based on concerns but more from the fact that we wanted to have the voice of the sector, which is extremely extensive and covers acute hospitals, residential care settings, social care setting and home care. It was a mechanism to have all the stakeholders in the one room and us talking together, and working in partnership, on occupational health and safety matters.
