Q2 \ Justify How the employer can ensure their safety and health in industrial.

Section 20 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 requires that an organization produce a
written programme to safeguard:

 the safety and health of employees while they work

 Safety and health of other persons who may be at work, including clients , visitors and members of the
public
 A fully completed, industry-specific Safety Statement by an experienced member of IOSH Corporate.
 Risk and hazard assessments common to your sector
 Compliance selection and recording templates e.g.: First Aid Record Form, Safety Induction Form, PPE
Record Form and Safety Audit Form.
 Fully compliant with the current Irish and EU regulations and best practice in industry.
• The record is stored on our stable server
• Emailed copies provided on request to you or to your designated recipient.
• Alert future legislative changes directly to your email Inbox .The Safety Statement must be written down
and the appropriate measures placed in place to enforce and track it. The Safety Statement must be made
available to staff, and to anyone else, showing that hazards have been identified and that the risks have been
assessed and eliminated.

Under the OSH law, employers have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace. This is a short
summary of key employer responsibilities:

 · Provide a workplace free of seriously recognized hazards and comply with the OSH law standards,
rules and regulations.
 · Analyze working conditions to ensure that they adhere to the OSHA requirements applicable.
 · Ensure that employees have and use safe tools and equipment and that this equipment is properly
maintained.
 Use color codes, posters, labels or signs to warn employees of potential hazards.
 · Establish or update and communicate operating procedures so that employees comply with safety and
health requirements.
 Employers need to have language protection instruction so vocabulary staff should understand it.
 · Employers in the workplace with hazardous chemicals must develop and implement a written hazard
communication program and train employees on the hazards to which they are exposed and proper
precautions (and a copy of the safety data sheets must be available readily). See OSHA Compliance
Threat page Provide medical examinations and training when required by OSHA standards
