Safety Statement Services Ireland
Every employer in Ireland is legally required to have a written Safety Statement under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. GR Training’s Health & Safety Consultancy team prepares comprehensive, legally compliant Safety Statements tailored to your specific workplace — so you can meet your obligations with confidence and protect your most important asset: your people.
What is a Safety Statement?
A Safety Statement is a written programme that outlines how health and safety will be managed in your workplace. It must identify the hazards present, assess the risks they pose, and set out the protective and preventive measures in place to control those risks. It is not a one-size-fits-all document — it must reflect the specific activities, premises, and workforce of your business.
Failing to have a valid, up-to-date Safety Statement in place is a criminal offence under Irish law. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) can issue improvement notices and prosecution for non-compliance, with fines of up to €3 million or imprisonment for serious breaches.
What’s Included in Our Safety Statement Service
Our experienced H&S consultants will:
- Conduct a thorough workplace inspection and hazard identification survey
- Prepare a fully bespoke Safety Statement that reflects your operations
- Identify all relevant legislation applicable to your sector
- Document control measures, responsibilities, and review procedures
- Include emergency procedures, first aid arrangements, and incident reporting protocols
- Provide a legally compliant document ready for immediate use
- Advise on how to communicate the Safety Statement to all employees
Who Needs a Safety Statement?
Every employer in Ireland — regardless of size — must have a Safety Statement. Whether you run a construction site, office, retail outlet, restaurant, healthcare facility, or manufacturing plant, the legal obligation applies to you. For businesses with three or fewer employees, a simpler written Risk Assessment may suffice, but a full Safety Statement is still best practice.
Common sectors we serve include:
- Construction and engineering
- Hospitality and food service
- Healthcare and social care
- Office and professional services
- Retail and logistics
- Manufacturing and warehousing
Why Choose GR Training?
GR Training has over 15 years of experience delivering health and safety training and consultancy across Ireland. Our consultants hold qualifications from the National Irish Safety Organisation (NISO), the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), and other recognised bodies. We understand that no two businesses are the same — that’s why every Safety Statement we produce is written from scratch to reflect your unique workplace, rather than being a generic template.
We work with businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to large multinationals, across Dublin and nationwide. Our consultants speak plain English, avoid jargon, and ensure you fully understand your document and your obligations under Irish health and safety law.
Safety Statement Reviews and Updates
A Safety Statement must be reviewed regularly — at least annually, or whenever there is a significant change in the workplace (new equipment, new premises, change of process, or following an accident). GR Training offers an ongoing review and update service to ensure your Safety Statement remains current and compliant at all times.
