What is Safety Statement?

A safety statement serves as an organization's written commitment to prioritizing health, safety, and welfare in the workplace. As mandated by Ireland's Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, employers must develop this critical document to demonstrate their dedicated efforts toward safeguarding employees, customers, visitors and all other stakeholders.


An effective safety statement details the specific procedures and policies enacted to identify and control hazards across all work activities. This includes selecting competent staff, maintaining safe equipment and creating a culture that makes safety an intrinsic part of any task performed. With clear guidelines enforced from the top-down, a strong safety statement shows an organization's genuine emphasis on sustaining safe systems long-term.

Importance of a Safety Statement

By making a safety statement, you can showcase your commitment to workplace safety. It will help you with:

 

  • Conducting a proper risk assessment and ensuring hazard identification.
  • Ensuring that you adhere to the compliance regulations and meet legal requirements.
  • Ensuring that appropriate safety procedures are in place to prevent accidents and injuries.
  • Promote a safety culture by working with expert health and safety consultancy.
