Safety Statements

Olive Safety’s consultancy team has worked for some of Ireland’s leading private sector organizations and Government Departments. Together, our consultancy team has over 40 years experience in Occupational Hygiene Monitoring, preparing Safety Statements and conducting H&S Audits for organizations throughout Ireland.

Why do I need a Safety Statement?
Safety Statements have been required by law of all companies since the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 1989 and more recently the new Safety, Health and Welfare Act, 2005. The safety statement is effectively a company’s documented Health & Safety Management programme for ensuring the safety, health and welfare of all its employees whilst at work. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) enforces these regulations, and has recently penalized and fined hundreds of companies throughout Ireland for not being health and safety compliant.

A Simple Process…
If you choose to engage Olive Safety to prepare your safety statement, we will provide a personal service that involves one of our consultants visiting your premises or offices to review your operations. The site visit ensures that our consultant accounts for all the potential hazards and risks that your employees may be exposed to during the course of their duties and that all appropriate risk assessments are developed. Our consultant will then prepare a company specific, fully compliant, comprehensive Safety Statement to meet your requirements.
