| Abstract |
This article comments on the provisions of The Republic of Ireland's Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. The main aspects of these new provisions concern integrated safety management systems and are particularly relevant for addressing bullying, harassment and stress at the workplace. Employees are required to submit to testing for intoxicants. Other aspects discussed include offences, enforcement and criminal liability of directors in the event of fatalities or major breaches in occupational health and safety legislation. |
