The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for all staff.

Due to the nature of the work undertaken in our National Parks, additional management structures have been set up to ensure that health, safety and welfare obligations are implemented and adhered to and risk assessments and suitable controls are put in place to ensure that work can be undertaken safely and that risks are reduced as far as is reasonably practicable. Under Section 19 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, regular risk assessments are conducted and in place for all work activities. In addition, a number of guidance documents are available to all staff to ensure compliance with health and safety guidelines and practices.
